France Télévision withdrew a rebroadcast of its literary program "La Grande Bibliothèque" following remarks by French actress and writer Adèle Haenel about the war in Gaza, Shehab Wire reported. The decision to pull the episode sparked widespread controversy across France and reignited debate over editorial independence at the state broadcaster.
Haenel had addressed the conflict during her appearance on the show. The broadcaster's move to remove the rebroadcast drew criticism from observers who questioned the rationale for suppressing the episode after it had already aired. French media outlets and public figures engaged in discussion about the circumstances surrounding the withdrawal and its implications for editorial freedom.
