France disapproves of the US embassy's move from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, the French Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Monday.

"This decision contravenes international law and in particular the resolutions of the Security Council and the UN General Assembly," the statement reads.

The ministry calls on "all actors to show responsibility to prevent a new fire."

"It is urgent to recreate the conditions necessary for a search for a political solution, in a region already marked by strong tensions," the French Foreign Ministry says.
