Israel would not join France's demand to form a tripartite organization with the United States and France, while also opposing Paris' policy on the Gaza war. "While we are only fighting to protect our people, France has gained the right to attack Israel," Galante said. "In doing so, France remains indifferent to the atrocities committed by Hamas against Israeli children, women and men. Israel will not be part of the tripartite framework proposed by France.
It is not clear whether the ICC prosecutor's war crimes investigation of Galante was on behalf of the Israeli government as a whole or on behalf of his office.
Israeli leaders have sometimes made contradictory statements on the same issue, including recently whether the country accepts US proposals for a "long-term" ceasefire peace in Gaza.
Late Friday, several Israeli media outlets reported that Israeli foreign officials rejected Galante's comments against France, calling them "incorrect and inappropriate."
Paris again condemned Hamas' deadly attack on Israel on October 7, but also criticized Israel's attack on Rafah, south of Gaza, and called on the country to comply with international law. Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7 have killed more than 37,000 Palestinians.
French President Emmanuel Macron presented his Lebanon proposal on Thursday, the day after tensions rose on the Lebanon-Israel border. France, which has good relations with Lebanon, tried to reach a solution. "To implement the plan we have planned, we agreed on the principles of the tripartite (negotiating group) between the United States and Israel, the United States and France, and we will do the same with the Lebanese authorities," Macron said.
In February, Paris announced an end-to-violence plan that would see Hezbollah withdraw 10 kilometers (6 miles) from the border, ending the Israeli offensive in southern Lebanon and talk of conflict over the conflict zone.
Hezbollah says a diplomatic agreement can be made after Israel's war in Gaza ends. Following the start of the Gaza war, the Lebanese group began fighting against the army in northern Israel, calling them the "Nusra Front", which supported the Palestinian army.
Israel responded by bombing villages in southern Lebanon and targeting Hezbollah positions. Although clashes are largely limited to the border region, clashes occur almost every day.
However, cross-border conflicts have increased in recent weeks, leading to a full-scale war.
