French Towns Ordered to Remove Palestinian Flags

Some French towns raised Palestinian flags to show support after France recognized Palestine.

However, the government told them to take the flags down because of rules about neutrality.

The towns were told that public buildings can't show support for political opinions.

Mayors said the flags showed solidarity, while others argued that it could cause problems.

Some officials compared it to showing Ukrainian flags.

The government stated that the Gaza war had increased tensions and the flags could cause unrest.
