“France continues to repress the voices of peace to cover up the genocide committed by the Israeli government.” French MP, Thomas Portes
French nurse Imane Maarifi was arrested after volunteering in Gaza, sparking controversy. Maarifi, released without charge after being taken into custody, was targeted for speaking out against Israeli atrocities.
French MP Thomas Portes criticized the arrest, accusing France of silencing peace advocates to conceal Israel’s crimes. Lawyer Rafik Chekkat condemned the arrest, highlighting the impunity of French soldiers in Gaza.
Maarifi revealed she was detained for raising concerns about a real estate fair promoting property sales in both Israel and occupied Palestinian territories, violating international law. Her release came amidst growing support for Palestinian rights activists against intimidation.
ICJ Ruling
The International Court of Justice’s ruling against Israel’s presence in Palestinian territories emphasizes the urgency to end illegal settlements and evacuate settlers. Efforts to suppress voices supporting Palestinian rights continue to face strong opposition.
