#latestnews #internationalnews #israelpalestine

The president of the French National Assembly suspended a session on Tuesday, June 4, after Rachel Keke, a member of the hard-left "La France Insoumise" party, brandished a Palestinian flag. This marks the second such incident in a week. Yael Braun-Pivet, the Assembly president, called the session to order and entered the event into the session's minutes. Braun-Pivet announced that a meeting of the Assembly's bureau would be convened to determine if there was reason to increase the sanction.

Just a week prior, MP Sebastien Delogu was suspended from his duties for 15 days after also displaying a Palestinian flag during a session. Delogu stated his actions were in support of Palestinians amid Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip, which followed the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel.

This war has polarized public opinion worldwide, with France's La France Insoumise positioning itself as a defender of Palestinians. The ongoing conflict continues to evoke strong reactions in France and beyond, as debates over the situation in Gaza intensify.

The actions of Keke and Delogu have sparked discussions within the Assembly and across France regarding the appropriate response to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. As tensions rise, the French government and its representatives grapple with the complex dynamics of international solidarity and political expression.
