The deputy of La France Insoumise François Ruffin spoke to Le Monde and takes a dissonant position from his camp on Israel and Hamas, which he describes as a “terrorist” organization.
François Ruffin denotes. In an interview with Worldthe deputy for La France insoumise asks the left to review its position on the Hamas terrorist attacks against Israel launched since Saturday.
“No gazelle modesty. What is well understood is clearly stated: on Saturday, Hamas committed abominations. We must put strong words on horrible acts, otherwise our words are discredited, mocked, bogged down in Byzantine justifications , not up to the seriousness of the events”, asks the deputy for the Somme.
L’Insoumis does not hesitate to describe Hamas as a “fanatical, terrorist” organization. A position that contrasts with the line held earlier in the day by leader Mathilde Panot. During a press conference, she refused to qualify Hamas as a terrorist organization.
“It is the armed branch which is today responsible for war crimes,” the boss of the rebels simply explained.
“Marine Le Pen supports a far-right government”
This caution was immediately criticized across the political spectrum. Xavier Bertrand, the LR president of Hauts-de-France, for example, denounced a “contemptible political calculation”.
Marine Le Pen, on behalf of the National Rally, indicated that she “does not want to form national union with France Insoumise, judging that the movement “supports Hamas”.
“Marine Le Pen does not have peace as her political compass, she exports her vision of the clash of civilizations. She blindly supports a far-right government and proposes, without blinking, to perpetrate war crimes in Gaza,” replies François Ruffin.
Slogan: “peace”
He asks the government not to “blindly” support the government of Benyamin Netanyahu.
“We must constantly set a ceasefire and peace as our objective,” he said, deploring “an alignment with the United States.”
For now, Emmanuel Macron has defended Israel’s right to defend itself. However, he opposed the withdrawal of European development aid intended for the Palestinian populations.
