France has banned Israel's far-right national security minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, citing his "unspeakable" behaviour targeting activists from a flotilla to Gaza who were detained by his police force.
French foreign minister Jean-Noël Barrot called on the European Union to sanction Ben-Gvir.
"As of today, Itamar Ben-Gvir is banned from entering French territory. This decision follows his unspeakable actions toward French and European citizens who were passengers on the Global Sumud Flotilla," Barrot announced in a post on X.
