France will therefore no longer accept Gazaouis evacuated on its territory as long as “The light will not be made” on this case. Jean-Noël Barrot also announces that “All the profiles that have entered France will be the subject of a new verification after the faults in the security screening (…) who led this young woman, who has no place in France, to be on the national territory.”

Jean-Noël Barrot specifies that a new investigation is underway to identify the flaws of this profiling. In the meantime, any evacuation is suspended: dozens of people, including families with children, were expected in the coming days.
