The current brand new Palestine question in France was already a political issue in France in the 1980s. This is particularly linked to one name: Georges Abdallah, the most famous political prisoner in France, was sentenced to life imprisonment in 1987 for a help for several assassinations against exponents of the United States and Israel. On Friday, the 74-year-old Lebanese was released from a French prison after a good 40 years and immediately flown to Beirut. A reference to the recognition of Palestine by Emmanuel Macron is not said to have existed.
