Jean-Luc Mélenchon, leader of France's hard-left La France Insoumise (France Unbowed) movement, has pledged to take direct action against Israel if elected president in 2027, including potentially deploying French naval vessels to escort pro-Palestinian flotillas. Speaking Saturday at a major campaign rally in Le Bourget, near Paris, where he presented his party's presidential platform, Mélenchon promised to make opposition to Israel's military policies a central element of his foreign policy. "We will act directly to support the Palestinians, both against the genocide in Gaza and against the gradual annexation of the West Bank," he declared.
