Israeli officials meet secretary general of French National Front
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe secretary general of France’s far-right National Front meets with IDF, government and political officials during a visit to Israel.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Emmanuel Nahshon says Nicolas Bay is on a private visit and would not meet Israeli officials.
But Bay tweets photos of his meetings with the Health Ministry’s deputy director general, an Israeli colonel, a leading member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party, the head of the party’s youth organization, and other leaders.
Bay’s photo of his meeting with the colonel and the Health Ministry official later disappears from his Twitter account.
The Health Ministry and the IDF had no immediate comment.
