French journalist denied entry to Israel for citing 'context' of Oct 7
"I am pleased to announce that at this very moment, Alice Froussard, a French journalist who supports Hamas, and who claims that the October 7 massacre must be viewed 'in context,' is making her way from Ben Gurion Airport back to Paris," Amichai Chikli, Israel's Minister for Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism, wrote on X.
"Like [American anti-Israel activist]Linda Sarsour before her, she too has learned that the State of Israel has run out of patience for Hamas supporters and for those who support sanctions and boycotts against it. Bon voyage," Chikli added.
The ministry explained that Froussard, a well-known French journalist who arrived for another long-term posting after working in the areas of Jerusalem and Ramallah for the past few years, had made a string of anti-Israeli statements, according to the Times of Israel.
