France Probes Vueling Flight Incident Amid Jewish Discrimination Claims
Some young French citizens were kicked off a plane flying from Spain to France.
Some people think it was because they are Jewish.
The airline says it was because of bad behavior, like messing with the plane's emergency stuff and not listening to the crew.
Now, the French government is looking into what happened to find out if the passengers were treated unfairly because of their religion.
The airline is doing its own investigation too and will share the results with both France and Spain.
French authorities are investigating the deboarding of a group of young French citizens from a Vueling flight.
The incident occurred on a flight from Valencia, Spain, to Paris.
The airline, Vueling, denies claims the passengers were removed due to their religion.
The passengers, including minors, were reportedly removed for unruly behavior.
France's Foreign Minister contacted the CEO of Vueling to express concern and request an investigation.
