France has announced a ban on Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir from entering the country due to his actions towards activists involved in a Gaza-bound aid flotilla. French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot stated that the ban is a response to Ben Gvir's 'reprehensible actions' towards French and European citizens who participated in the flotilla. The decision follows a video posted by Ben Gvir that showed the treatment of activists detained by Israeli soldiers, which sparked international condemnation. Barrot, alongside Italy, is advocating for European Union sanctions against Ben Gvir. While France disapproves of the flotilla's objectives, Barrot emphasized that the treatment of French nationals cannot be tolerated. Spain has also called for EU sanctions, and the UK has summoned Israel's top diplomat regarding the incident. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu remarked that Ben Gvir's actions do not align with Israel's values, yet he remains in his position. The flotilla, which included 36 French nationals, aimed to breach Israel's blockade of Gaza, which has been in place since 2007.
