Itamar Ben-Gvir, the far-right Israeli Security Minister, has been banned from entering France, as confirmed by the country's Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot on social media.
The decision follows significant criticism directed at Ben-Gvir for promoting divisive content and his actions towards French citizens involved in humanitarian efforts related to Gaza.
This ban, effective as of May 23, 2026, reflects France's stance on the actions of foreign officials that it deems reprehensible, particularly in relation to humanitarian issues.
