Zineb El Rhazoui Faces Legal Action for Alleged Terrorism Advocacy
French Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau has filed a complaint against the former Charlie Hebdo journalist for comments made about Israel and Hamas.
- Bruno Retailleau, France's Interior Minister, has reported Zineb El Rhazoui to the Paris prosecutor for allegedly advocating terrorism.
- The complaint stems from an interview where El Rhazoui refused to condemn the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel, calling Israel a 'successful Daesh.'
- El Rhazoui described the Gaza Strip as a 'camp of concentration turned extermination camp' and labeled Hamas as a 'movement of resistance.'
- The journalist's remarks have sparked controversy, given her history as a secular activist and critic of political Islam.
- El Rhazoui, who has faced numerous threats and lives under police protection, has shifted her stance to a pro-Palestinian perspective following the conflict.
