🇮🇱🇫🇷 ISRAEL BANS TWO FRENCH LEFT-WING POLITICIANS FROM ENTERING COUNTRY: Israeli Foreign and Interior Minister Gideon Sa’ar announced Thursday that Jean-Luc Mélenchon, leader of the France Unbowed party, and French lawmaker Mathilde Panot are barred from entering Israel over what the ministry described as extreme anti-Israel statements and accusations amounting to “blood libels.” The decision also cited Mélenchon’s call for French naval ships to escort Gaza-bound flotillas. The move follows France’s recent decision to ban Samaria Regional Council head Yossi Dagan over his involvement in Judea and Samaria communities.
