France has prohibited Yossi Dagan, head of the northern West Bank settlement council, from entering French territory due to his role in expanding settlements, Shehab Wire reported. The move marks a precedent targeting settlement leadership directly.
The French decision reflects growing European measures against Israeli settlement expansion in occupied Palestinian territory. Dagan leads the Samaria Regional Council, which oversees dozens of settlements in the northern West Bank.
