Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs:
In light of the extreme anti-Israeli policy of the 'France Without Rainbow' (LFI) party, and the outrageous statements of its senior members, including party leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon and the head of the parliamentary faction Mathilde Faneau, who spread blood plots against Israel, as well as Mélenchon calling for sending the French foreign ships to the illegal foreign controls to the French foreign controls. Matters and interior, Gideon Sa'ar, decided to ban Melanchon and Penat from entering Israel.
Israel will respond firmly to anyone who harms it, and will not allow the entry of those who act against Israel and its citizens or incite against them.
