French Member of Parliament Sebastien Delogu was suspended for 15 days from the French National Assembly after waving a Palestinian flag during a session. President Yael Braun-Pivet adjourned the session, condemning the behavior as 'unacceptable.' Delogu, a member of the left-wing France Unbowed party, stood up with the flag during a government question session. The incident occurred during a debate on recognizing Palestinian statehood, causing a heated debate and garnering both applause and anger from colleagues. Delogu expressed pride in his actions and joined a pro-Palestine rally in Paris after being excluded from the National Assembly. The French government is facing a revolt against its support for Israel, with Delogu's suspension sparking controversy and accusations of hypocrisy due to the president's own actions regarding foreign flags.
