French Parliament suspended left-wing lawmaker Sébastien Delogu for two weeks following his display of a Palestinian flag during a debate on recognizing Palestinian statehood.
The La France Insoumise (LFI) party member’s actions sparked controversy, leading to a two-week suspension and a reduction in parliamentary allowance.
This incident coincided with Spain, Ireland, and Norway’s recognition of Palestinian statehood, a move criticized by Israel. France has not followed suit, despite President Macron indicating a shift in policy.
Prime Minister Attal refrained from confirming France’s stance on recognizing Palestine during a session in Parliament, leaving the decision open.
