\r\nHaenel explained in a video posted on Instagram on Thursday that she appeared on France 5’s literary program La Grande Librairie on Wednesday, where guests were given freedom to express their views.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

At the end of the program, Haenel declared, “Israel is committing genocide in Palestine, and France is complicit.”<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

“Do not accept the unacceptable,” she added, calling for sanctions against Israel and demanding, “Free Palestine.”<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

The actress revealed that her team recorded the segment because they expected her remarks on the genocide in Gaza to be removed, but France Télévisions instead deleted the entire replay from its website.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

Haenel maintained that the decision exposed the silencing of voices supporting Palestine and the effort to push the issue out of public debate.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

She also sarcastically thanked France Télévisions for strengthening her argument, saying the removal itself showed how pro-Palestinian views were being excluded.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

The decision drew condemnation from lawmakers of the France Unbowed Party (LFI), with MP Sarah Legrain praising Haenel for “resisting all forms of domination” amid widespread silence over Palestine.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

LFI lawmaker Gabrielle Cathala noted that the replay was removed after Haenel denounced Israel’s genocide against Palestinians and France’s complicity, while Danièle Obono described the decision as “scandalous.”<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

Fellow lawmaker Aymeric Caron argued that Haenel’s remarks about Gaza were accurate and demanded that the broadcaster explain who had pressured it to remove the replay.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

According to French magazine Télérama, France Télévisions justified the decision by claiming that Haenel’s remarks on Palestine had not been balanced by an opposing view during the broadcast.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

The broadcaster’s explanation has intensified criticism of its handling of Palestine-related speech, especially after it erased a program in which Haenel directly condemned Zionist regime’s genocidal assault and France’s support for Tel Aviv.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n
