Israel revokes visas of 27 French MPs

Israel has revoked the visas of 27 French MPs days before they were due to visit the country, as Israel continues to isolate itself from the European left.

According to The National on April 22^nd, after being invited on a five-day trip by the French consulate in Jerusalem to Israel and the Palestinian territories, the Interior Ministry cancelled their visas under a law that allows them to ban people who could act against Israel.

This is not the first time Israel has banned parliamentary members from entering the country as earlier this month two British MPs were also refused entry.
