Rima Hassan Faces Backlash Over Alleged Support for Hamas
Rima Hassan's Presence at the Rally
In a contentious political climate, Rima Hassan, a controversial figure, finds herself embroiled in allegations following her participation in a rally held on August 16 in Amman. The incident has drawn attention after a group of fifty Renaissance deputies complained to the justice system, asserting that her presence indicated a form of 'apology for terrorism'.
Deputies' Claims and Hassan's Response
According to the deputies, including government spokesperson Prisca Thevenot, Hassan’s actions displayed a 'provocative support' for Hamas. They suggest that she has been promoting anti-Jewish hatred in Europe. In response, Hassan criticized these claims as baseless, maintaining that the rally was a regular event supporting the Palestinian cause, not a pro-Hamas demonstration.
Broader Political Implications
This incident has reignited discussions concerning political accountability and the implications of public support for contentious political movements. Hassan additionally stirred controversy with remarks on social media regarding the Hamas attacks, stating that the UN does not classify these actions as terrorism, leading to further backlash from various political figures.
