Left-wing French lawmakers have had their visas cancelled by Israel
The Israeli government has cancelled the visas of left-wing lawmakers from France as well as local officials, two days before they were scheduled to visit Israel and the Palestinian territories, Al-Monitor via AFP reported on April 20th.
A total of 27 French lawmakers have had their visas cancelled. The move has taken place following Israel’s decision to stop two UK members of parliament (MPs) from the UK’s ruling Labour Party from going to Israel.
Diplomatic issues have also taken place as President Emmanuel Macron announced that France intends to recognise Palestinian statehood soon.
