Paris mayor seeks honorary citizenship for Palestinian civilians

Gregoire is expected to present the proposal to the Paris Council in June, according to the mayor’s office cited by Le Nouvel Obs.

“Paris has always associated its name with the freedom of peoples and human dignity. It chooses civilians over violence, law over arbitrariness, life over destruction,” the mayor’s office said.

The office also stressed the importance of honoring Palestinian journalists, saying “honoring them means honoring the fundamental right of societies to know the truth.”
