Israeli delegation under constant surveillance by GIGN, says Darmanin

The Israeli delegation under the protection of the GIGN in France

\n\nThe security of the Israeli delegation in France has been reinforced, with protection of the National Gendarmerie Intervention Group (GIGN) in force 24 hours a day. This was recently announced by the Minister of the Interior, Gérald Darmanin. The latter said he had ordered continued protection of the delegation, stressing that the security of all citizens, regardless of their nationality, was a priority for the French government.\n\n

Protecting the Israeli Delegation: A Necessity

\n\nThe decision to strengthen the protection of Israeli delegation comes against a backdrop of growing tensions around the Israeli-Palestinian issue. This measure aims to guarantee the security and integrity of members of the delegation facing potential threats. \n\n

The role of the GIGN

\n\nTHE GIGN has a crucial role in the implementation of this decision. An elite unit of the French Gendarmerie, the GIGN is used to situations of great tension and sensitive missions. Its main mission is to intervene in France or abroad to confront serious threats to public order, notably terrorism. \n\nBy ensuring the protection of the Israeli delegation, the GIGN uses its experience and know-how in security and close protection. This elite force is on permanent alert and ready to intervene at any time to guarantee the security of the delegation.\n\n

Darmanin's message

\n\nThe announcement of Gerald Darmanin on this security provision underlines the seriousness with which the French authorities take potential threats. By emphasizing the need to ensure the protection of citizens and foreign delegations on French soil, Darmanin reaffirms France's commitment to security and the defense of human rights.\n\nThis decision therefore strengthens France's role as a nation respectful of the principles of international diplomacy, which attaches great importance to security, justice and equality. It is also a clear message to individuals or groups seeking to disrupt public order that any security threats will be treated with the utmost seriousness. \n\nThis commitment to ensuring the protection of the Israeli delegation demonstrates once again the determination of the French government to ensure respect for order, security and justice. \n\n
