France Bans Israeli Settlement Leader, Citing West Bank Policies

France has banned Yossi Dagan, head of the Samaria Regional Council, from entering its territory due to his role in promoting West Bank settlements. Journalist Nabil Chouman called the move a diplomatic precedent that thwarted Dagan's planned pro-settlement meetings in Paris. Former diplomat Alon Liel described the ban as a "slap" to the settlement movement. France has also pursued broader EU sanctions and restrictions on settlement products, though divisions among member states persist.
