The MP LFI Clémence Watch out requested the suspension of the association agreement between the European Union and Israel.
POLITICS – A penniless of an in -laws compliance with international law? Gathered in the European Affairs Committee, the deputies rejected an amendment on Wednesday July 2, which summarized European countries – including France – to respect the decisions of the International Criminal Court. The idea was to remind them of the need to apply the arrest warrant issued in particular against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu when he is on their soil.
This amendment was part of a more global proposal defended by the deputy LFI Clémence attended, the objective of which was to request the suspension of the association agreement between the European Union and Israel. LR, Renaissance and the RN also voted against this resolution as a whole. “Your vote is a shameimmediately watched. I think you are not measuring the severity of what you just voted. France is engaged in front of the ICC. You get a poor idea of your mandate. »»
“I am faced. It’s scandalousalso prevailed the coordinator of La France Insoumise Manuel Bompard. Respect for the ICC and the status of Rome have been in the French Constitution since a decision by Jacques Chirac in the late 1990s. MPs, some of whom are former ministers, do not even take a position to support the decisions of the ICC “. “It’s extremely seriousembraced the environmental member Sabrina Sebaihi. We have just passed the fact that France no longer respects the ICC. It will be necessary to remember this vote as a serious rocking. »»
The elected officials who opposed the vote of the resolution did not speak and therefore could not justify their vote. Just the deputy EPR Caroline Yadan (elected by the French from abroad, including those installed in Israel) she explained “ that in April last April, the ICC inflicted a discreet but deep disavowal on its own institution ” in “Canceling his prosecution against Israeli officials”.
Words not only copied-pumps on an article of Maladderbut which were in addition debt by Clémence watched a few seconds later: “What Caroline Yadan has just said is simply false. The Court of Appeal has, in a second step, confirmed the arrest warrants against Netanyahu and its ministers “.
Netanyahu “borrowed French airspace”
As PS deputy Philippe Brun recalled, who regrets a vote “Particularly worrying” Macronists, LR and RN, Benjamin Netayanhu was able to go to Hungary in early April for a four -day visit alongside Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. Without being worried by Hungary, a member of the EU, who should have given it to the ICC under the arrest warrant he is the subject. “He also borrowed the French airspace”added the socialist.
On the left, this vote was interpreted as a negation of the role of the UN and a passenger pass granted to the Israeli government, when the bombings continue in Gaza. The day before, Israeli strikes had targeted a coffee by the sea, where journalists, artists and students used to meet. Dozens of people died, and as much injured.
