French Assembly Creates France-Palestine Friendship Group at LFI's Initiative
Nov 20, 2024, 11:10 AM
The French National Assembly has approved the creation of a France-Palestine friendship group, marking a significant symbolic gesture. This decision was made by the Assembly's bureau, now dominated by left-wing parties, despite the lack of official recognition of Palestine as a state by President Emmanuel Macron. The move comes at the initiative of La France Insoumise (LFI), a left-wing political party, and follows a previous unsuccessful attempt in May. The establishment of this group, which aims to foster parliamentary exchanges, does not enjoy unanimous support, with opposition from Gabriel Attal, representing his group, citing that Palestine does not meet the three criteria for such recognition: presence at the UN, a parliament, and international recognition.
