France's foreign minister welcomed with eggs and slogans

When the foreign minister of France entered into Gaza strip from Israel, she was greeted with dozens of eggs and angry slogans. It was the Palestinian supporters who were confronting her over a comment.

It is said that the comment has been falsely connected to her where it was said that an Israeli soldier has been held captive in Palestine since 2006. Minister Michele Alliot-Marie met with the parents of the kidnapped soldiers in Jerusalem. That is the time when the statement was made by the father of the soldier which was wrongly attributed to her.

Meanwhile, the protesters were found at the Erez crossing point and are said to be from a group which is affiliated to Hamas. They tried to intercept the movement of her motorcar as it entered Gaza. It was only when the Hamas police interfered that the motorcar could move ahead to a UN building.
