France has suspended its programme for receiving Palestinians fleeing Gaza.<\/p>\n

The freeze will be in place while authorities investigate a Palestinian student in France who has been accused of making antisemitic remarks online, French Foreign Minister Jean-No\u00ebl Barrot has said.<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old woman was on a scholarship in northern France’s city of Lille and will have to leave the country after her university withdrew her accreditation.<\/p>\n

France has helped more than 500 people leave Gaza since the war between Israel and Hamas broke out following the 7 October 2023 attacks<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The woman, who arrived in France in July, was due to start attending classes at Sciences Po Lille university in the autumn.<\/p>\n

She has since been deregistered, the university has said.<\/p>\n

France’s Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau wrote on X that he had requested for the account to be closed, legal action to be taken. “Hamas propagandists have no place in our country,” he added.<\/p>\n

Palestinians already in France through this scheme will be “subject to a new check” following “failures that brought this young woman here”, Mr Barrot added.<\/p>\n

He said that security checks carried out by state services and Israeli authorities did not detect these “unacceptable and concerning remarks”. <\/p>\n

Sciences Po Lille university confirmed the woman’s comments to AFP and told the news agency that the posts were “in direct contradiction with the values upheld” by the institution.<\/p>\n

The woman was part of a group evacuated from Gaza as part of a programme run by the French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs, the director of Sciences Po Lille told French newspaper Lib\u00e9ration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"France has suspended its programme for receiving Palestinians fleeing Gaza.
