Question 9971 — foreign policy

Summary

Mr. Édouard Bénard draws the attention of the Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs to the fate of Mustafa Kollab, a Palestinian citizen trapped in Gaza whom France must evacuate. Former technician responsible for an electricity production plant, Mustafa Kollab has also promoted Palestinian culture internationally. He is notably the author of one of the short films included in the documentary From ground zero presented on the sidelines of the Cannes Film Festival in May 2024. Since then, he has contacted the Rouen section of the France Palestine Solidarity association (AFPS) in order to flee the chaos in Gaza and prevent his family from suffering the same fate as his own sister, who died under the bombs of the Israeli army. Since October 7, 2023, nearly 60,000 Palestinians have been killed by the IDF in the Gaza Strip. At the same time, the policy of Israeli Prime Minister and his far-right government have provoked numerous abuses: organized famine, targeted hospitals, destroyed infrastructure and assassinations of journalists. In light of the ICC's accusations of war crimes and crimes against humanity against the Israeli government and the arrest warrants issued against the Israeli Prime Minister and his former defense minister, Yoav Gallant, each state is must make international law its compass to put an end to the chaos reigning in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. At the United Nations on Monday, September 22, 2025, the President of the Republic finally recognized, in the name of France, the existence of a State of Palestine. But while it has claimed for many months, if not for several years, to stand on the side of justice and international law, France must now act more concretely. Taking concrete action does not consist of waiting for yet another speech from the President of the Republic, but rather starting by doing everything possible to get Mustafa Kollab out of Gaza. A political, human and strong gesture in correlation with the decision of the National Court of Asylum (CNDA) of July 11, 2025 which automatically grants refugee status to any national from Gaza. At a time when the connections between several French arms companies and the Israeli government are proven, it is essential to send an opposite signal. He asks him what measures he intends to take to allow the evacuation of Mustafa Kollab from Gaza.
