France halts all evacuations from Gaza over alleged antisemitic reposts by Palestinian student [View all]
France halts all evacuations from Gaza over alleged antisemitic reposts by Palestinian student
The French government will deport a Gaza student accused of reposting alleged antisemitic content on her social media and halt all evacuations from the territory, the country’s foreign minister said Friday as outrage grows over her reposts.
“She must leave the country. She does not have a place in France,” Jean-Noël Barrot said in an interview with radio station France Info, without saying if authorities would return the student back to Gaza.
The foreign minister did not name the woman, who has also been expelled from her university in the northern French city of Lille.
The incident has sparked a political firestorm, dominating French news coverage with the interior minister saying her content amounts to “Hamas propaganda.”

Other sources indicate her posts in question called for the deaths of Jews everywhere; the concern is the vetting process did not find the recent posts.
