A well-known British Palestinian surgeon, Dr. Ghassan Abu Sitta, was denied entry to France on Saturday as he attempted to attend a French Senate meeting to discuss the Israel-Hamas war. The surgeon, who has volunteered in Gaza hospitals, was placed in a holding zone at Charles de Gaulle airport and is set to be expelled from the country.
French Sen. Raymonde Poncet-Monge, who had extended the invitation to Dr. Abu Sitta, expressed her disappointment at the situation, labeling it as a 'disgrace.'
