European Parliament President Roberta Metsola said she would take “all appropriate steps” against an MEP who sparked protests and criticism from fellow lawmakers in Strasbourg on Monday after throwing EU and Israeli flags to the floor.
Although Metsola did not name the MEP, the lawmaker was identified as Rima Hassan. Her office confirmed that she had removed an Israeli flag during an exhibition commemorating the victims of the 7 October 2023 terrorist attack in Israel.
