Forbes: “40 Women of the Year” ceremony canceled due to the presence of activist Rima Hassan. For several days, Jewish personalities and organizations have contested the choice of pro-Palestinian activist Hassan among the nominees.

Since October, Rima has become one of the figures of the Palestinian cause. The activist announced on Friday the cancellation of the event, scheduled for March 28 at the Ritz in Paris. But according to Rima, this cancellation is explained by “pressure and intimidation in recent days”
