Overview

  • Nour Attaalah departed France for Qatar on August 3 after Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot deemed her previously deleted calls for violence against Jews unacceptable
  • A judicial inquiry is probing possible incitement to terrorism and how authenticated antisemitic content escaped pre-entry screening
  • Sciences Po Lille verified that Attaalah’s social media posts from the past two years were genuine despite having been deleted
  • Attaalah’s lawyer, Ossama Dahmane, contests the charges and says the allegations rely largely on shared tweets taken out of context
  • France froze all Gaza student evacuation programs on July 30 until security and vetting procedures are overhauled
