Israel deports French journalist accused of supporting Hamas

Israeli authorities deported Alice Froussard, a French journalist critical of Israel's genocidal war on Gaza and its policies in the occupied West Bank. Israeli Minister for Diaspora Affairs Amichai Chikli accused her of supporting Hamas and justifying the October 7 massacre. No official reason was given for her deportation. France supported the journalist but acknowledged Israel's legal right to deport her. The Foreign Press Association condemned the treatment, noting that Israel had authorized her travel prior to arrival.
