Israeli Embassy in Paris had no foreknowledge of the French parliament's Foreign Affairs Committee report, which was published two week ago, and thus did not refute it or work to moderate it.

The French parliament's Foreign Affairs Committee published an unprecedented report two weeks ago accusing Israel of implementing "apartheid" policies in its allocation of water resources in the West Bank.

The Israeli Embassy in Paris had no foreknowledge of the report and thus did not refute it or work to moderate it. Foreign Ministry officials called the incident "a serious diplomatic mishap."
