Istanbul – SABA
Rami Abdu, head of the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor, revealed "dangerous and confirmed" evidence of the French Embassy in Jerusalem directly coordinating with Israeli forces to systematically expel Palestinian professionals (Ph.D. holders, doctors, engineers, historians, and cultural/archaeological specialists) from Gaza.
The operations are framed as "humanitarian evacuations" but allegedly aim to depopulate Gaza of its intellectual and human capital.
A new expulsion was planned for April 23, 2025, involving pre-dawn bus gatherings in central Gaza, transport to Ramon Airport under Israeli military air cover, and eventual transfer to Jordan via the King Hussein Bridge.
The French Consulate in Jerusalem ignored urgent requests for clarification.
A dedicated unit within Israel’s far-right government oversees the "phased expulsion" of Palestinians, starting with high-skilled individuals, to alter Gaza’s demographic and social fabric.
France is accused of being a primary international collaborator in this scheme.
Abdu condemned the Franco-Israeli coordination as a "blatant breach of international law," highlighting France’s silence on forced displacement and its failure to prosecute French-Israeli dual nationals accused of war crimes in Gaza.
He criticized France’s hypocrisy: facilitating Palestinian brain drain while ignoring its citizens serving in the Israeli military.
Demand that France cease involvement and issue an official statement.
Urgent appeal for an international investigation by the UN, framing the expulsions as part of an ongoing genocide.
Warning: "History will not forgive the accomplices... This is the soft face of the crime, what bombs couldn’t achieve, they seek through deceptive humanitarian corridors".
