France's public broadcaster, France Télévisions, has taken down the online replay of a France 5 program after actress Adèle Haenel denounced Israel's actions in Gaza and suggested that France was complicit in the alleged genocide. The actress made her remarks during a segment titled "La Grande Librairie" broadcast on September 9.

She called for sanctions against Israel and advocated for freedom for Palestine. Haenel's team had recorded the segment believing her comments would be edited out, but instead, France Télévisions decided to remove the entire replay from its website, according to Quds News Network. The broadcaster cited the absence of an opposing viewpoint on the Palestinian issue during the program as the reason for the removal.
