French Foreign Minister St\u00e9phane S\u00e9journ\u00e9 affirmed today that the Israeli delegation will be welcome for the Paris-2024 Olympic Games, after insubordinate deputies pointed out the contrary due to the crimes in the Palestinian Gaza Strip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
S\u00e9journ\u00e9 stressed on social networks that France will ensure the safety of all participants in the five rings event, which will begin on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Over the weekend, during a mobilization in favor of Palestine, the deputy of La France Insoumise (LFI) Thomas Portes said that Israeli athletes will not be welcome on French soil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Portes criticized the policy of double standards, alluding to the restrictions on the presence of Russian athletes in the Olympic Games because of the war in Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some 40,000 people have been killed in Gaza by Israel’s indiscriminate shelling and ground operations in retaliation for the October 7 Hamas attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
LFI coordinator Manuel Bompard advocated diplomatic pressure to stop the crimes in the Strip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In particular, he advocated French government pressure on the International Olympic Committee to make Israeli athletes compete under a neutral flag and not to play their anthem if they win titles, sanctions similar to those imposed on Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Minister of the Interior, G\u00e9rald Darmanin, also insisted on the security of the Israeli delegation, to which he guaranteed permanent protection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
