JUST IN: FRENCH POLITICIANS SAYS ISRAEL LIED AND ARE ILLEGALLY HOLDING FRENCH CITIZENS
“UPDATE: Contrary to Israeli propaganda, French nationals did not refuse to be repatriated to France.
They refused to sign a document in which they had to acknowledge having entered Israeli territory illegally, a condition set by Israel for their release.
This is scandalous, unacceptable, and doubly false: first, because the arrest took place in international waters. Second, because the waters off the Gaza Strip are not part of Israeli territory unless Israel recognizes its annexation of the Gaza Strip.
Mr. Macron, when will you make France respected?”
JUST IN: FRENCH POLITICIAN SAYS ISRAEL HAS NO RIGHT TO ILLEGALLY DETAIN FRENCH CITIZENS
“By what right has Netanyahu forcibly detained a French MP for 30 hours? By what right does he demand that the prisoners sign a document to admit that they entered Israeli territory illegally?! Rima rightly refused. Why did the French consulate wait so many hours to appear before the prisoners, unlike all of its colleagues on site, when the minister had said yesterday morning that France was demanding consular protection for its nationals?
We demand the unconditional release of the prisoners. We demand that France be respected.”
