1 / 2

France has prohibited Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir from entering its territory, Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot announced on social media. The decision follows allegations that Ben-Gvir threatened and intimidated French and European activists aboard the Global Sumud flotilla. Barrot condemned the minister’s repeated incitement of hatred and violence against Palestinians and urged the European Union to impose sanctions. Many observers have labelled Ben-Gvir a provocateur and praised France’s stand. Some also criticised the United States for its stance, saying history will judge its response harshly.
