Boat for Gaza: La France Insoumise rallies support for Rima Hassan
Breaking the Israeli blockade was the goal of the MADLEEN sailboat crew, whose journey was cut short off the coast of the Gaza Strip. The 12 pro-Palestinian activists on board, including Swedish activist Greta Thunberg and MEP Rima Hassan of the left-wing France Insoumise party, were delivering humanitarian aid to Gaza. During the night of June 8 to 9, Israeli naval commandos intercepted the vessel about 31 nautical miles from the Palestinian enclave, redirecting it to the port of Ashdod in southern Israel. During the day, while the 12 activists – six of whom are French – were handed over to Israeli police, the French embassy requested consular access to visit them to ensure their well-being and prepare for their prompt return to France. This marked the second time Hassan had been expelled from Israel: On February 25, she was denied entry upon arrival at Ben-Gurion Airport. While the humanitarian mission failed, the activists' communications campaign proved successful. This was especially true for Hassan, who had been at the forefront of the media battle since the boat departed Italy eight days earlier. At regular intervals, she provided updates on the expedition's progress while warning of alleged threats facing the vessel and its crew. This dramatic narrative received wide attention on social media and was supported by the entire La France Insoumise movement from the first days of the MADLEEN's journey toward Gaza.

Suspect in killing worshipper at mosque south France surrenders to Italian police
Paris - Saba: French authorities announced Monday that the suspect in a stabbing at a mosque in France surrendered to Italian police late Sunday night. The public prosecutor in the southeastern French city of Alès said, according to Agence France-Presse, "The suspect in the killing of young Aboubacar Cissé on Friday, April 25, inside a mosque in the Logard region of southeastern France, surrendered himself to Italian police in the city of Pistoia around 11 p.m. Sunday." The public prosecutor said, "It is a great pleasure for me as a prosecutor. Given the effectiveness of the measures put in place, the suspect saw no other option but to surrender, and this was the best step he could have taken." Grini added, "The official information released about the suspect, who filmed the murder himself, was scant. He is a young man named Olivier A., from a Bosnian family, unemployed, and has family connections in the Logard region." "This person remained under the radar of the justice system and the police, and had not attracted any attention before this tragic incident," Abdelkrim Gueni continued. A white march took place in the town of La Grande-Combe on Sunday in memory of the victim, Aboubacar Cissé, a young Malian man in his twenties. More than a thousand people participated between the Khadija Mosque, where the incident occurred, and the town hall of this small town of 5,000 people north of Alès. Hundreds of people also gathered late in the evening in Paris, including Jean-Luc Mélenchon, leader of the France Insoumise movement, who accused Interior Minister Bruno Retaylor of fostering a "climate of Islamophobia." President Emmanuel Macron stressed that "discrimination and hatred based on religion will never have a place in France," offering "the nation's support" to the victim's family and "our Muslim compatriots."

French MPs: Gaza turning into Nazi concentration camp
Paris – Saba: MPs from the left-wing opposition party "France Insoumise" held up banners on Tuesday, during a session of the French National Assembly (parliament). Aymeric Caron, a member of the party, said in a parliamentary session on Tuesday that Gaza is turning into a Nazi concentration camp. He pointed out that the level of brutality displayed by the Israeli army has reached such a point that "we are forced to use approximate figures for the number of deaths in this ongoing genocide." He pointed out that approximately 20,000 Palestinian children have been martyred in Israeli enemy attacks, stressing that modern history has never witnessed such a large number of children being killed in such a "sadistic manner." He added that Palestinian children are being burned, crushed, torn apart, beheaded, shot in the head, amputated without anesthesia, and imprisoned. Caron accused French MPs and officials who visited Israel and expressed support for the Tel Aviv government of "complicity in the crime" against civilians in Gaza. During his speech, Caron displayed a photo of the child, Bisan al-Hindi, who was martyred in an Israeli airstrike while she was sleeping last March. He said, "Look at this face. Look at all these faces around me. These are the faces of our bad conscience." A number of MPs from his party joined Caron in displaying photos of children killed by the Zionist war on the Gaza Strip. On Tuesday, the Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip recorded 1,449 martyrs and 3,647 injuries since March 17, bringing the number of martyrs directly linked to the war to 50,810 since the Zionist enemy began its war on the Strip on October 7, 2023.
