Targeting diplomats poses a serious threat to both personal safety and the mutual respect and trust that underpin international relations, it added.

The statement urged an immediate investigation into the attack and accountability for those responsible.

"We call on the international community to condemn this dangerous act in the strongest possible terms and to take concrete steps to bring an end to Israel's impunity," it concluded.
