POLITICS – Unexpected support. La France insoumise gave a standing ovation to the Secretary of State for Development and International Partnerships, Chrysoula Zacharopoulou, after she spoke in the National Assembly this Tuesday, March 5, about the “unbearable” situation in Gaza.
Responding to questions from LFI MP Thomas Portes, who denounced “the genocide of the Palestinian people,” the government official condemned the Israeli army’s recent attacks and demanded “explanations” from Benjamin Netanyahu’s government. as you can see in our video at the top of the article.
