What the sources establish
The Times of Israel reports the Israeli ministry’s announcement. AFP and Times of Israel staff separately relay Mélenchon’s remarks to France Info. In the earlier AFP report, France’s foreign ministry confirmed the French ban and Dagan’s office described his arrival. The sources establish the announcements and responses. They do not establish a causal link between the bans or whether either French politician attempted to enter. The map retains the November 11 report date and the representative Israel marker.
