France calls Israel’s entry ban on left-wing leader ‘demagogic’
French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot condemned Israel’s decision to bar left-wing officials, including Jean-Luc Melenchon, leader of the La France Insoumise party, from entering the country in a post on X on Thursday.
"This demagogic decision, coming from a government that has repeatedly violated international law, plays into the hands of those who, like La France Insoumise, make a living out of exploiting the Israeli-Palestinian conflict," Barrot wrote.
"France will continue tirelessly to work toward a two-state solution and peaceful coexistence between the Israeli and Palestinian peoples."
Le gouvernement d'affaires courantes de Benyamin Netanyahou vient d'interdire l'accès à son territoire à des responsables de la France insoumise. Cette décision démagogique, émanant d'un gouvernement qui a multiplié les violations du droit international, fait le jeu de ceux qui, comme La France insoumise, vivent de l'instrumentalisation du conflit israélo-palestinien. La France continuera inlassablement à agir pour la solution à deux États et la coexistence pacifique des peuples israélien et palestinien.
