European Deputy Rima Hassan faces criticism for taking down Israeli flag
Israeli symbolism was unintentionally used during the European Parliament event commemorating the victims of the Al-Aqsa Flood operation, when French-Palestinian Member of Parliament Rima Hassan removed the Israeli flag. She confirmed that the fall of the European Union flag was accidental. She stated that the event promoted what is called the "Greater Israel Map," and explained that the organizers claimed that the Palestinian people do not exist. The MP responded to the Israeli attack against her, affirming that Israel is committing genocide and apartheid crimes, and that severing ties with the Israeli state can be done without commemorating the occupation. Israeli Foreign Minister Saar condemned her action, considering it an insult to the victims of October 7. The MP is known for her support of the Palestinian cause and has previously faced charges related to glorifying terrorism and praising Hamas.
