Israel's Foreign Ministry has sharply criticized France's decision to deny entry to Yossi Dagan, the head of the Shomron Regional Council. The ministry stated that Israel views the ban, which it believes is based on "clearly political and ideological motives," as an "extremely serious step" and "completely unacceptable." Israel will demand explanations from the French government and will consider further measures based on the response received.
Dagan reported last week that French border officials prevented him from entering the country. He attributed the ban to his activities promoting Jewish settlements in Judea and Samaria, as well as his support for rebuilding settlements in Gush Katif in the Gaza Strip. French authorities have confirmed the entry ban.
