VIDEO – The rebellious MP was questioned for advocating terrorism on April 30. France Insoumise had designated the attack as a “armed offensive by Palestinian forces”.
The word finally got out. The day after the first anniversary of October 7, Mathilde Panot, president of the LFI group in the National Assembly, described the Hamas attacks against Israel as a “terrorist act”. “This week we commemorate the 1,200 victims of the terrorist act of October 7, including 8,000 civilians, including 42 of our compatriots”explained the rebellious MP during a press briefing this Tuesday. On October 7, 2023, France Insoumise spoke of a “armed offensive by Palestinian forces”. Mathilde Panot had received a summons to “apology of terrorism” on April 30, in the middle of the campaign for the election of European deputies.
“The endless war offers no lasting political solution capable of guaranteeing the rights and security of the Palestinian, Israeli, and now Lebanese people”continued the MP. “Netanyahu’s far-right government has launched an all-out war on the Palestinian people”she added. “We pay tribute to the victims of the massacre of October 7, and to the tens of thousands of civilian victims who died under the bombs of the Netanyahu government and we demand that the war criminals be brought before international justice”she also said.
Israel is leading a ground offensive in Gaza to destroy Hamas, but is also striking the arsenals and military bases of Hezbollah, a Shiite Islamist movement in Lebanon, where the IDF is also carrying out ground raids. More than 40,000 people have been killed in Gaza, according to the Hamas health ministry. The movement has ruled the exclave since its victory in the 2006 legislative elections, then the ousting of the Palestinian authority the following year.
