France will suspend its programme to receive Palestinians from conflict-torn Gaza pending the outcome of an investigation into how a student accused of sharing anti-Semitic posts was allowed into the country, the French foreign minister says.

According to AFP, the move comes after officials said the female student from Gaza will have to leave France after the Sciences Po university in the northern city of Lille revoked her accreditation over the online posts.

“No evacuation of any kind will take place until we have drawn conclusions from this investigation,” Jean-Noel Barrot told Franceinfo radio.

All Gazans who have entered France will undergo a second screening, he added.

France has helped more than 500 people leave Gaza since the recent conflict started, including wounded children, journalists, students and artists. Lille’s chief prosecutor told AFP yesterday that a probe had been opened against the student for allegedly trying to “justify terrorism” and “justify a crime against humanity”.
