Raphaël Pitti disciplinary hearing over Gaza genocide remarks, Digi Mart USA News (France): French humanitarian doctor Raphaël Pitti was summoned on Friday, November 6, before the first-instance disciplinary chamber of the regional council of the Order of Physicians in Grand Est, according to the publisher’s report. Pitti is a former candidate for the New Popular Front in the Hauts-de-Seine legislative elections.
The Association of Jewish Doctors of France (Amif) filed a complaint against him after remarks he made on television broadcasts in May 2025, which the association considered “incompatible” with the practice of medicine. The publisher reports that France 3 Grand Est, which attended the hearing, described the case.
Pitti, who had carried out a mission in Gaza, said on the France 5 program “C ce soir” on May 6, 2025: “There are 2.5 million people who are in a situation of suffering. We have all the legal elements to characterize a genocide: they cut off food, water, electricity, diesel.
They prevent food from entering the enclave, they prevent people from receiving care. And now the displacement of the population.”
He also used the term “genocide” on the program “Quelle époque!” on France 2 on May 11, 2025. The Amif complaint objected to the use of the term, noting that it is not recognized by any international body.
Its lawyer, Me Frédéric Hutman, said after the hearing that the association’s objection was that the vocabulary was used only for Gaza and not for other conflicts.
Before the disciplinary chamber, Pitti described the “chaos” he faced in a Gaza hospital, saying doctors were forced to let patients with head trauma and children with severe burns die, and that boats were present but Israeli authorities did not allow them to be used. He asked: “Am I supposed to remain silent?”
According to France 3, the chamber’s decision should be known within a month.
