French diplomat recalled after scuffle with Israeli troops

A French diplomat who clashed with Border Police last week in the West Bank will leave her post at the end of December, following an agreement between Israel and France, Haaretz reported. Marion Fesneau-Castaing was filmed as she pushed a border policeman. The incident occurred last week, when several European diplomats and activists were trying to help Palestinians erect tents in the village of Khirbet Makhoul, where Israeli authorities had demolished illegally built homes earlier in the week, according to the Isreali newspaper. Fesneau-Castaing is the cultural attach? for the French Consulate in the Occupied Jerusalem. Jerusalem decribed the diplomat's behavior as inappropriate and a "blatant violation of diplomatic codes of conduct.
