Overview
- Renaissance MP Caroline Yadan filed the proposal, which the Assemblée nationale’s commission des lois is scheduled to examine on January 20.
- The draft has backing from several dozen deputies, with L’Humanité reporting support from five socialists including François Hollande and Jérôme Guedj.
- Coverage warns the text could criminalize criticism of Israeli government actions or expressions of solidarity with Palestinians if adopted without changes.
- An opinion piece argues the measure tracks IHRA-style definitions that blur anti‑Zionism with antisemitism and could restrict historical comparisons.
- L’Humanité cites the case of comedian Guillaume Meurice to suggest satire might face prosecution under the bill, while no law has yet been passed.
