Pro-Palestinian supporters stage protest at French football federation
A protest at the French football federation demanded the cancellation of a Nations League game between France and Israel this month.
Video footage posted on social media showed protesters inside the federation’s headquarters in Paris lying on the floor or holding placards with political slogans and Palestinian flags.
Some demonstrators also chanted: “No, no, no to the France-Israel game at the Stade de France.”
Carrefour closes Jordan branches; boycott Israel movement celebrates
The Carrefour retail chain announced via its Facebook account that it will close all its branches in Jordan starting today.
This comes at a time when the global movement to boycott Israel, BDS, attributed this decision to the boycott against Carrefour, which started with the war on Gaza because of its alleged support for Israel.
In a statement, Carrefour Jordan said: “As of November 4, 2024, Carrefour will cease all its operations in Jordan and will not continue to operate within the kingdom. We thank our customers for their support and apologise for any inconvenience this decision may cause.”
The boycott movement in Jordan said on its Instagram account that Carrefour’s decision was a “victory for the Jordanian people”.
