France warns mayors against flying Palestinian flags ahead of statehood recognition
France 24 ^ | September 19, 2025

Posted on 09/19/2025 3:44:29 PM PDT by MinorityRepublican

France's interior ministry has ordered prefects to oppose the display of Palestinian flags on town halls and other public buildings next week when Paris is set to formally recognise the Palestinian state.

"The principle of neutrality in public service prohibits such displays," the interior ministry said in a telegram, a copy of which was seen by AFP on Friday.

Any decisions by mayors to fly the Palestinian flag should be referred to courts, the interior ministry said.

Israel's war on Gaza is a hot-button issue in France, and it is not uncommon to see flags hanging out of windows in Paris and elsewhere.

Several French mayors have already announced their intention to display the Palestinian flag on their town halls next week.

On Monday, France is set to formally recognise Palestine's statehood at the United Nations General Assembly.

The warning from the interior ministry came after Socialist leader Olivier Faure called for the Palestinian flag to be flown on town halls on Monday, when Jewish worshippers also celebrate the Rosh Hashanah holiday, the Jewish New Year.

However, the interior ministry said any such display would amount to "taking sides in an international conflict".

Macron has lost his senses. He cannot create a Nation where one does not exist. This a blatant attempt to save his career and generate publicity.
Refuse nationhood 5 times, slaughter thousands of innocent civilians, promise to repeat the slaughter again and again. Those are the people for whom Macron is desperate to furnish leverage & recognition.

War on Hamas. Not War on Gaza. (Or Israeli Arabs)

Maybe liberating France wasn’t such a good idea . . .

Ask him for a map with the borders clearly drawn.

Then just sit back.

Macron is both insane and evil.
We pray for the many good French people that they may be able to regain control over their government (and country) ASAP!

Saving Britain and rebuilding Europe didn’t turn out so well, either.

“Is Paris Burning?”

Macron doesn’t see that his little stunt will embolden the muslims, and that they will show their joy about Palestinian recognition by rioting, looting, raping and murdering.

“Who could have seen it coming? No one could have foreseen that they would react like that.”

Send the French diplomates back to France. They hate us and have been working against the United States since they surrendered to the Germans in WWII. France is worthless and there is nothing I can think of that we need from them.

Can the new State of Palestine be in France, or in Siberia?
The state doesn't have to be in the Gaza Strip. Israel already won back that land.

Never again will they have a treaty with the Palestinians.

Satan, before Jesus returns to setup his Kingdom over the Earth will become desperate in his attempt to steal the inheritance of Jesus as the true and lawful owner of this Earth. This is the adjudication of the Court Gabriel spoke of in Daniel Chapter 7 verse 26 and seen with the Sanhedrin shown in Revelation Chapters 4 to 6 and culminates in Revelation Chapter 10 by the Angel saying there is no more time.

France and the UK and Canada, along with Australia, Mexico, New Zealand and all the Western nations still living under the benefits of the freedom and Liberty that a collective belief in Christ Jesus being empowered across their Lands has long provided. These evil leaders like Macron, Carney and Starmer are doing the will of their Father Satan.

They can decree whatever they want, but until Israel agrees to go along with their wicked schemes, it is only a witness against these evil rulers and of their willful opposition to God in Heaven and against his Son sitting at his Right Hand.

However we know this event will occur at some future date.

“Then the owner of the vineyard said, ‘What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; perhaps they will respect him.’ But when the tenants saw him, they said to themselves, ‘This is the heir. Let us kill him, so that the inheritance may be ours.” Luke 20:13-15

Peter speaks of Jesus: “Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.” Acts 3:21 (a Jubilee)

But unlike the first time, when Jesus declared the Jubilee reading from Isaiah Chapter 61 and stopped before reading ‘and the day of vengeance of our God’

“For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.” Isaiah 63:4 (another future Jubilee is come AND its the year of his Redeemed, the Church)

Satan has access to Heaven (accusing the brethren) until he attempts to break the legal restoration, which is tied to the physical land as much as it is to the people (Israel) following the (second) restoration under the very same Law that took them away as with a flood in 70 AD,

Jesus told unbelieving Israel, your house is left desolate because you knew not ‘the time of your visitation’

Israel at the time of the end will make a covenant with death, Satan is a liar and usurper, this is why I believe the tribulation begins sometime after this event happens – dividing the restored land (from Jerusalem restored in 1967)

“And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; . .” Isaiah 28:18

At this time the war in Heaven begins and Satan is thrown out (forever) by Michael, he is accusing the brethren (Church) but there are none any longer operating in that condition to accuse in his dominion.

“And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceive the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.” Revelation 12:7-10

“Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.” Psalm 2:1-3

“And both these kings’ hearts shall be to do mischief, and they shall speak lies at one table; but it shall not prosper: for yet the end shall be at the time appointed.” Daniel 11:27

“For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem, I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.” Joel 3:1-2

“They hate us and have been working against the United States since they surrendered to the Germans in WWII. “

Longer than that and even before we were our own country. The sent Indian raiders hundreds of miles from Canada and the Ohio country against our frontier settlements. They loudly claim to be our friends, but they consistently backstab us.
