The member of the office of the Assembly of French people abroad in Israel, Daphna Poznanski-Benhamou, is outraged on franceinfo on Wednesday October 11 at the lack of places for the repatriation of French people from Israel, while the Quai d’Orsay has announced the sending of a special flight on Thursday to bring back the French who are currently in Israel.

For Daphna Poznanski-Benhamou, a single plane is not enough, which explains, according to her, a “sorting”among the French to be repatriated: “I sent a list of 36 people who asked to be repatriated, and they only took five.” This member of the office of the Assembly of French Abroad in Israel talks about this elderly couple that she had included on this list: “The husband has cancer, he no longer has his medicines here, they [le Quai d’Orsay] took him but they didn’t take his wife.”
“They have not at all understood what is happening here”
“Honestly, I don’t understand this sorting, it’s really unbearable”, insists Daphna Poznanski-Benhamou. “We are told ‘make lists with people who are priorities’, we send priority lists and we don’t take them.”
A situation “inadmissible” for the member of the office of the Assembly of French Abroad in Israel. “I don’t know what’s happening at the Quai d’Orsayadds Daphna Poznanski-Benhamou, They have not at all understood what is happening here.” Asked by franceinfo, the Quai d’Orsay responded that “the French embassy in Tel Aviv is doing its utmost”.
