France has denied entry to Yossi Dagan, a prominent Israeli settler and head of the Samaria Regional Council, Al Jazeera English reported. The move comes amid escalating tensions over Israeli settlement expansion in occupied Palestinian territories.
Israel's government criticized the entry ban as "unacceptable," viewing it as a political statement against Israeli settlement policy. France has taken an increasingly critical stance toward Israeli settlements, which are considered illegal under international law.
