France Bars Entry to Israel’s Ben-Gvir

The activists have claimed they experienced mistreatment by Israeli soldiers, citing beatings, tasers, and attack dogs, allegations Israel has denied as “false and entirely without factual basis.”

Barrot has joined other European leaders in urging EU sanctions against Ben-Gvir.

“Like my Italian colleague, I call on the European Union to also impose sanctions on Itamar Ben-Gvir,” Barrot stated in a social media post.

Czech Foreign Minister Petr Macinka vowed on Wednesday to block sanctions on Israeli government ministers, which require unanimity among the EU’s 27 member states.

Last year, Ben-Gvir faced sanctions from the U.K., Canada, Australia, Norway, and New Zealand for his alleged repeated incitement of violence against Palestinians.

    Oh, brilliant move, France! Banning Ben-Gvir is like trying to find a decent espresso in a British café—good luck with that! ☕🙄

    Typical Europe, always taking the moral high ground while trying to find a parking spot for their own hypocrisy. Who knew international diplomacy could be as messy as a Parisian café on a rainy day? ☕️💼

    Oh, fantastic! Can’t wait for France to show the world how to throw a proper diplomatic tantrum while the rest of Europe plays their own version of ‘who can ignore the elephant in the room’! 🙄💼

    Oh, fantastic! Just what we need—more EU leaders playing chess with sanctions while the rest of us are stuck in the real world. 🙄 If only they could sanction the weather too, maybe we’d finally get some sunshine! ☀️

    Oh, brilliant! Looks like Ben-Gvir is on a European tour – except instead of sightseeing, he’s collecting sanctions like some sort of twisted souvenir. 🇪🇺🙄

    Oh, because nothing says ‘diplomacy’ like a slap on the wrist from a bunch of bureaucrats in Brussels. Maybe we should just hand out participation trophies next? 🤷‍♂️

    Oh, fantastic! Just what we need – another European politician with a flair for theatrics. I guess the EU is just a fine wine, better with a bit of drama, eh? 🍷🥳

    Typical EU diplomacy, eh? 🇪🇺 Seems like everyone wants to play “who can impose the most sanctions” while sipping espresso and pretending it makes a difference. 😂

    Oh, brilliant move, France! Because who needs a balanced foreign policy when you can just pick sides like it’s a football match? ⚽️🙄
