The French government has suspended the registration of Gazan nationals for the PAUSE programme, an initiative led in particular by the Collège de France that enables artists and scientists at risk to be hosted in France. This decision, justified on logistical grounds, has prevented Gazan recipients from benefiting from the programme and has drawn criticism regarding its legal and humanitarian implications.
