Catherine Colonna has arrived in Israel where she was due to press for an “immediate and durable” truce.
The truce should lead to a lasting ceasefire with the aim of releasing all captives and delivering aid to Gaza, read a statement from the Foreign Ministry.
Colonna will meet her Israeli counterpart Eli Cohen in Tel Aviv before moving to the occupied West Bank where she is scheduled to meet her Palestinian counterpart, Riyad al-Maliki.
The visit comes as France condemned the Israeli bombing of a civilian building in southern Gaza that killed one of its diplomatic staff.
