Overview

• Rima Hassan, a French eurodeputée for La France Insoumise (LFI), is under investigation for alleged incitement to violence after sharing the address and phone number of a Marseille company accused of supplying military components to Israel.
• The company, Eurolinks, is reported to manufacture components linked to ammunition used in Gaza, though French authorities state these exports were for re-exportation purposes only.
• Hassan is also being investigated for alleged apologie du terrorisme after calling Hamas's actions 'legitimate under international law,' while condemning hostage-taking and other violent acts.
• Two French government ministers have raised the possibility of revoking Hassan's citizenship if she is convicted, though legal experts note this is unlikely as she was born stateless and holds no other nationality.
• The controversy has sparked sharp political divides, with critics accusing Hassan of supporting terrorism and her party defending her against what they call politically motivated persecution.
