Milan, 23 May (LaPresse) – ‘As of today, Itamar Ben-Gvir is banned from entering French territory.’ French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot announced this on X, stating that ‘this decision follows his unacceptable actions towards French and European citizens travelling on the Global Smud Flotilla’. ‘We disapprove of this flotilla’s initiative, which yields no useful results and places an excessive burden on diplomatic and consular services, whose professionalism and dedication I appreciate. But we cannot tolerate French citizens being threatened, intimidated or mistreated in this way, especially by a public official,’ Barrot stated.
