Sebastien Delogu, a member of parliament for the France Unbowed (LFI) party from the southern city of Marseille, was suspended by the parliament on Tuesday.

Delogu stood up with the Palestinian flag during questions to the government.  

Parliament speaker Yael Braun-Pivet called it unacceptable behavior, and lawmakers voted to suspend Delogu for two weeks and cut his parliamentary allowance by half for two months.

Delogu made a V-sign for victory and left the lower chamber making, as some other French lawmakers inside celebrated his suspension.

His suspension came on the day Spain, Ireland, and Norway formally recognized a Palestinian state, deepening the Israeli regime’s isolation.

In a coordinated attempt to exert added international pressure on the regime to stop its genocidal campaign in the besieged Gaza Strip, the three major Western European nations on Tuesday joined dozens of countries that have already recognized a Palestinian state.

The joint declaration had already been announced the previous week. The trio is the first major Western powers to officially recognize Palestine.

Their move brings to 145 out of the 193 UN member states that have recognized a Palestinian state.

But no member of the Group of Seven industrial powers -- including France, Britain, and the US -- have done so.

Israel’s barbarous campaign in Gaza began in early October. It has now driven virtually 80 percent of the population of 2.3 million from their homes.

The regime’s savagery has caused considerably vast destruction in towns and cities.

Israel has also killed at least 36,050 Palestinians, mostly women and children, in Gaza since October 7, 2023.
