Question 9754 — refugees and stateless persons

Summary

Mr. Gabriel Amard draws the attention of the Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs to the question of France's commitments to Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, artists and academics who are winners of the PAUSE program and, as such, beneficiaries of a reception program in France. To date, 26 beneficiaries have been selected by the program steering committee, which includes officials from the Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs. France is committed to requesting their evacuation as well as that of their families and to welcoming them on French soil where they will collaborate with French universities and institutions. The PAUSE program has already made it possible to welcome many foreign artists and academics to France, whose lives are threatened. Among the latter more than two hundred come from the Gaza Strip. It is presented as a success and a remarkable contribution of the country to the continuation of the work of Palestinian researchers and artists, contributors to contemporary productions and repositories of academic and cultural knowledge of Palestinian society. In the territory of Gaza, their lives are threatened daily by deadly war conditions, by often indiscriminate strikes but also by seriously degraded sanitary conditions, in particular by the lack of food, drinking water and basic necessities. The MP questions the Minister on how he announced the immediate suspension and sine die postponement of any evacuation from the Gaza Strip to France on August 1, 2025 following an isolated event relayed by the media. Since then, despite numerous calls of all sectors of civil society relayed in the media not to apply a collective sanction, despite the announcements and verification surveys on the profiles of beneficiaries of the PAUSE program, despite the prospect posed by the President of the Republic that France recognizes the State of Palestine on the occasion of the next session of the General Assembly of the United Nations, the Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs has not communicated on the resumption of requests for evacuation of Palestinians to France. Subsequently, he asked him if he could communicate to him the terms of the resumption of evacuations planned by the Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs as part of the PAUSE program.
