“We have no news from them” apart from “brief exchanges with their lawyers and with the French consul who was able to visit them,“ hard-left France Unbowed member of European Parliament Manon Aubry told French radio station Franceinfo Sunday.
France Unbowed announced Saturday that two of its national deputies, Francois Piquemal and Marie Mesmeur, and two of its MEPs, Rima Hassan and Emma Fourreau, had declared a hunger strike “in solidarity with the Palestinian people”.
Israel detained 30 French citizens after intercepting the Global Sumud Flotilla, a fleet of 45 ships that aimed to break Israel's siege on Gaza and deliver humanitarian aid to Palestinians in the territory.
France Unbowed leader Jean-Luc Melenchon on Saturday slammed “the cowards of the French government”, pointing out that detained nationals from several other countries have already been returned home from Israel.
Former Macron minister and current MEP Nathalie Louiseau has countered that “France is doing what it needs to do” and “is providing consular protection to its citizens who were part of this flotilla”.
“Is it really to shed light on the Palestinians and their suffering in Gaza, or is it a self-promotion effort? I’m afraid the latter is the case,“ she told French channel France 3 -AFP
