Left-wing MP Hassan is reported to have argued with an Israeli artist in Strasbourg over an exhibition about the Hamas movement's terrorist attack on Israel on October 7, 2023. However, her party colleague and group leader Manon Aubry has defended her, saying the reports have been exaggerated.
Hassan, 34, is one of France's most outspoken Palestinian activists. She is currently under investigation in France, accused of condoning terrorism in a social media post about a 1972 terrorist attack in Tel Aviv.
