France's main Jewish association on Monday publicly distanced itself from an unprecedented invitation for two key figures in the French far right to attend a conference this week in Israel on the fight against anti-Semitism.
Jordan Bardella, party leader of the National Rally (RN), and his fellow MEP Marion Marechal, who leads another far-right movement and is the niece of three-time RN presidential candidate Marine Le Pen, have been invited by the Israeli government to attend the International Conference on Combating Antisemitism on March 26 and 27.
