In question, a sentence pronounced by the deputy for the 8th constituency of French people established outside France during the question session to the government on Tuesday. “While the minister [des Affaires étrangères Catherine Colonna] was invited to react to the death of a Quai d’Orsay agent following Israeli bombings on a residential building housing civilians, MP Meyer Habib distinctly and twice pronounced the words: “And this It’s not over!” “, comments that could “akin to the apology of war crimes”, believe the authors of the letter.
Request for a disciplinary penalty

According to the report of the session, Meyer Habib launched “And it’s not over” in response to a question from MP Éric Coquerel (LFI). “Who can now doubt the real war objectives of the Netanyahu government which, after the north, is bombing the south of the Gaza Strip, precisely where it had asked the Palestinians to take refuge? », Asked Éric Coquerel to the head of diplomacy.
A “gross manipulation” for Meyer Habib
According to the report, Meyer Habib made the same response when Éric Coquerel asked: “Who can doubt now that it is less a question of eradicating Hamas than of putting an end to the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, as the Palestinian Territories? “. Meyer Habib for his part denounced a “gross manipulation” of the 39 deputies of the Nupes.
“Their damp squib is only a crude counter-fire to try to forget the repeated apology for terrorism, the negationism and anti-Semitism at work in their ranks since October 7 but also their silence in the face of the pogroms , rape, massacres of babies, old people and Holocaust survivors,” he said.
