European Parliament President Roberta Metsola said Tuesday she was taking "extremely seriously" allegations that a French-Palestinian MEP overturned Israeli and EU flags, according to Middle East Eye. The incident prompted Metsola's statement, though details of when or where the alleged flag overturning occurred were not specified in the available information.
The case involves an MEP of French-Palestinian background, though no individual was named in the initial report. Metsola's response signals the parliament leadership views the matter as requiring formal attention.
