A controversy has been brewing since Sunday, September 14, surrounding Olivier Faure, the first secretary of the PS. The controversy stems from a tweet by Faure suggesting that the Palestinian flag be flown from French town halls on September 22, as part of a call for France to recognize the Palestinian state.

The tweet has been accused of fueling anti-Semitism, with many critics claiming that it is insensitive to France's Jewish community. The controversy over Faure's tweet shows no signs of abating, as the debate continues over the appropriateness of such a move.

The controversy is centered around the flying of the Palestinian flag from French town halls, and Faure's suggestion for France to recognize the Palestinian state. However, it is unclear who proposed to raise the Palestinian flag in French city administrations on September 22.

Despite the ongoing controversy, Faure has not issued any further statements regarding the matter. The search results do not provide information on whether Faure plans to address the accusations of anti-Semitism or whether he will withdraw his suggestion for France to recognize the Palestinian state.

As the controversy surrounding Olivier Faure's tweet about the Palestinian flag and recognition of the Palestinian state continues, it remains to be seen how the situation will unfold in the days ahead.
