Citing ‘domestic agenda reasons,’ French PM cancels Israel trip
France’s Prime Minister Edouard Philippe has canceled a planned trip to Israel early next month, citing “domestic agenda reasons,” his office says.
Philippe had been expected to visit Jerusalem on June 1 for an event promoting ties between France and Israel along with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Emmanuel Nahshon confirms the cancellation to The Times of Israel, similarly citing “internal French reasons.”
