The Minister of Foreign Affairs Jean-Noël Barrot announced this Friday, August 1, a freeze on the evacuations of Gazaouis to France during the investigation into the Sciences Po Lille student accused of anti-Semitism.
“No operation of this type, no evacuation of any kind will be held until we have drawn the consequences of this investigation,” said Jean-Noël Barrot on Franceinfo.
The student implicated “is intended to leave the national territory”, a French diplomatic source said in BFMTV on Thursday.
Screenshots circulating on social networks show that an account – attributed to this student by Internet users and closed since – has notably left messages calling for killing Jews.
An investigation for “apology for open terrorism”
Arriving in France on July 11, the young woman had benefited from a government scholarship to be able to study at the School of Higher Education Sciences Po Lille, in the north of France, as part of a program intended for Gazaouis students created a year ago, said this source. The destination to which the student could not be referred was not specified.
The Lille prosecutor’s office announced Thursday the opening of an investigation for “apology for terrorism, crime apology against humanity with use of an online public communication service”.
The young woman was unsubscribed Wednesday from the Lille Political Studies Institute, where she was to study from September, because the content of some of her publications “enters the values brought by Sciences Po Lille,” said the establishment.
Several hundred people – French nationals, scholarship holders, artists or researchers in particular – have been evacuated from Gaza by France since the start of the war launched in retaliation for the attack on Hamas in Israel on October 7, 2023, according to the diplomatic source.
