Overview

• During a TF1 interview on Friday, Marine Tondelier said MEP Mélissa Camara would be “deported within 72 hours” after Israel intercepted a Gaza-bound flotilla.
• TF1 journalist Bruce Toussaint challenged the term on air, and CRIF president Yonathan Arfi condemned its use as a historical and moral error.
• Tondelier posted an apology on Saturday, saying the word was inappropriate and reflected a mistranslation, noting that English “deportation” can correspond to French “expulsion.”
• Le Parisien reports that Camara remains detained under an expulsion procedure and was expected to leave Israeli territory on Sunday.
• On Sunday, RN spokesperson Laurent Jacobelli criticized Tondelier’s phrasing and questioned the intent behind her remarks during an interview on Europe 1.
