Israel bans French politicians from entering the country

Israel has banned Jean-Luc Mélenchon, a candidate from the left-wing La France Insoumise party in the 2027 presidential election, and Mathilde Panot, the party’s parliamentary group leader, from entering the country.

TodayPress TV reports that Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar made the announcement.

“Taking into account the extremely anti-Israel policies of the La France Insoumise party and the controversial statements made by its leaders, as well as Mélenchon’s call for French ships to be sent to escort illegal flotillas to Gaza, I have decided to ban Jean-Luc Mélenchon and Mathilde Panot from entering Israel”,- Sa’ar said.
