Rima Hassan, the anti-Israel member of the European Parliament from France's radical left, was filmed removing an Israeli flag and a European Union flag displayed outside an event commemorating the victims of October 7. European Parliament President Roberta Metsola addressed the incident, saying she views the accusations against Hassan 'very seriously.' According to a European Parliament source, Hassan will be required to provide explanations to President Metsola, who will decide whether to take disciplinary action against her.
