Israel banned the entry of the French presidential candidate.
The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on Thursday in a statement that Jean-Luc Melanchon, the leader of the French Inviolable Party, was banned from entering.
According to France 24, the message said: "Israel will respond decisively to those who intend to harm it and will not allow people who work against Israel and incite against its citizens to enter it."
Israel also announced that it would reject the entry of Mathilde Fanoy, head of France's uncompromising parliamentary faction.
