The College de France has cancelled a symposium on Palestine scheduled for November 13-14, citing its commitment to strict neutrality on political matters amid surrounding controversy. The event, titled “Palestine and Europe: the weight of the past and contemporary dynamics,” was initially suggested to be held behind closed doors, but this proposal was not accepted. The cancellation was made to ensure the safety of individuals and the serenity of events at the institution. The College reiterated its role as a place of knowledge without endorsing any militancy.
