France on Sunday called escalating violence in Israel and Palestinian-controlled territories "extremely worrying and dangerous."
The office of President Francois Hollande said "everything must be done to calm the situation and end this cycle (of violence) which has already caused too many victims."
Early on Sunday morning, an Arab woman from Jaffa attempted a suicide bombing near Ma'ale Adumim east of Jerusalem, lightly injuring one policeman and seriously injuring herself.
Gas balloons and other explosives were found in the terrorist's car and early evidence suggests she would have detonated the bomb in Jerusalem, had she not been pulled over by police.
"This new worsening of the situation also confirms the urgency of restarting political efforts," France said, adding that Paris "will not spare any effort in working towards this."
