Yossi Dagan, a prominent Israeli settler leader and the head of the Samaria Regional Council, was denied entry into France last week. The incident occurred upon his arrival in Paris, where he had planned to hold a series of meetings, according to his office. French border officials reportedly took Dagan for additional questioning and informed him of the entry ban. The stated reasons for the denial were his activities in establishing 35 settlements in northern Judea and Samaria, and his support for rebuilding Jewish settlements in the Gaza Strip. Dagan is a vocal proponent of expanding settlement activities and establishing new outposts within the Samaria region he leads. He also advocates for a plan to bring one million residents to northern Judea and Samaria by 2050. French authorities have not yet officially commented on the circumstances of the entry refusal.
