China Daily and CGTN, both relaying the same statement, report the minister urging Israel to halt settler violence in the West Bank. None of the listed claims independently describes the attack on the mayor.

Sources disagree on:
- Middle East Eye says the demand concerns settlers who attacked a French mayor and asks for arrests, while China Daily and CGTN describe only a call to halt settler violence in general, with no mention of the mayor or an arrest demand.
- Middle East Eye names Jean-Noel Barrot, while China Daily and CGTN attribute the statement only to the French foreign minister; all three refer to the same statement.
