Hilal Saki9/12/2026

French public broadcaster France Télévisions has removed the online replay of a France 5 programme after actress Adèle Haenel used the broadcast to say that Israel’s was committing a genocide on Palestinians and France was complicit. In a video shared by Quds News Network, Haenel appeared on La Grande Librairie on 9 September and used a closing segment to call for sanctions against Israel and freedom for Palestine. She said her team recorded the segment because they expected her remarks to be edited out, but France Télévisions instead removed the entire replay from its website, according to QNN.
