The head of France’s national assembly suspended the lower house after Sébastien Delogu, a deputy of the hard-left La France Insoumise (LFI) party, waved a Palestinian flag to draw attention to the Israeli bombardment of Gaza while a junior trade minister was answering a question about the situation in Gaza. MPs clapped and cheered Delogu on as the national assembly president ruled his actions ‘unacceptable’, before security guards removed the flag and MP from parliament. The LFI later posted on X: ‘We will continue to carry the voices of peace everywhere, all the time’
