<p>We have repeatedly made clear to Israel our longstanding concerns about the manner
in which the Israel Defense Forces police non-violent protests and the border areas,
including the use of live ammunition. We encourage Israel to carry out transparent
investigations into whether the use of live fire had been appropriate. While Israel
has a legitimate right to self-defence, it is vital that all its actions are proportionate,
in line with International Humanitarian Law, and are calibrated to avoid civilian
casualties.</p>
