PARIS (Dispatches) – A French court on Thursday ordered the Nice city mayor to remove the Zionist regime’s flags from the town hall, Anadolu reports. “Following the referral by private individuals, the interim relief judge of the Administrative Court of Nice suspended the mayor’s refusal to remove the occupying regime’s flags hoisted on the town hall’s facade and ordered him to remove them within five days,” the statement from the court said. The court ruled that the display of the flag cannot be viewed solely as a “symbol of support for Israeli captives held by Hamas” but also as “support for the Israeli regime and thus as an expression of political opinion.” Following the ruling, Christian Estrosi, mayor of Nice, the second-largest French city on the Mediterranean coast, removed the flags he had been flying since Oct. 7, 2023, according to French daily Le Figaro.
