the UN resolution must “apply as quickly as possible”, calls on the President of the National Assembly

Yaël Braun-Pivet was reacting to the death of seven humanitarian workers killed in an Israeli strike while delivering food in the Gaza Strip.

The UN resolution must “apply as soon as possible”, calls the President of the National Assembly, Yaël Braun-Pivet, on franceinfo Tuesday April 2, while seven collaborators of an American NGO which delivers food to the Gaza Strip were killed in an Israeli strike on Monday. The organization announced the suspension of its activities in the region.

Yaël Braun-Pivet deplores “a new drama” and pleads for the UN resolution to be “applied” quickly with the implementation of“a ceasefire, access to humanitarian aid and the release of all hostages.”

“The time for sanctions against Israel has not come”

Yaël Braun-Pivet believes, on the other hand, that the “time of sanctions” against Israel “did not come”. According to the President of the National Assembly, it is necessary to do “maximum effort” For “continue the dialogue”. She will meet her counterpart, Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana, “in a few days”. “We need to make convergent efforts to achieve the implementation of this resolution,” she continues.

She also judges that it is not “timely” to qualify “the situation in the Middle East” of “genocide”while one of the vice-presidents of Médecins du Monde spoke on Tuesday on franceinfo about a “genocidal intent on the part of Israel”.

The President of the National Assembly also adds that she is not opposed “a priori” to the desire of rebellious MP Aymeric Caron to broadcast a compilation of images of the war in Gaza at the Palais Bourbon. “I have not, to date, received a request of this kind, but for me, there is no refusal a priori, neither in relation to the subject which is raised, nor in relation to the ‘author of a possible request’she estimates, specifying the “only restrictions” that it could bring would relate to the “security of the Palace and public order”.
