Question 13791 — foreign policy

Summary

Mr. Meyer Habib alerts the Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs about the status of the city of Jerusalem in the Ariane digital portal, launched in 2011 by the Crisis and Support Center (CDCS). In the architecture of this site of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs intended for French nationals traveling occasionally abroad, for the destination "Israel", the drop-down menu offers a series of localities which does not include the capital of the country: “Jerusalem”. On the other hand, the drop-down menu for the list of countries shows an entry “Jerusalem-Palestinian territories”, therefore associating Jerusalem, exclusively, with the Palestinian territories only, which are, moreover, not a state recognized by France. The status of Jerusalem is the subject of divergent interpretations in international law. At a minimum, French doctrine affirms that Jerusalem has a vocation to be the capital of both the State of Israel and a future Palestinian state. France has never considered Jerusalem as fully part of the “Palestinian territories” so much so that the architecture of the digital portal Ariane deliberately misleads the public and offends the many friends of Israel, in particular the approximately 150,000 French people who reside in this country. Also, he asks him what measures are planned to make the necessary corrections to the Ariane portal as quickly as possible.
