Israel cancels entry visas for 27 French left-wing lawmakers and local officials two days before their planned visit to Israel and the Palestinian territories. The cancellation comes after two British members of parliament were barred from entering the country and amidst diplomatic tensions following President Emmanuel Macron's statement on recognizing a Palestinian state. The Interior Ministry cited a law allowing the banning of individuals who may act against the state. The lawmakers have called the cancellation a form of collective punishment and are demanding a meeting with Macron and action from the government to ensure their entry into the country.
