Jordan Bardella and Marion Maréchal to Attend Israeli Conference on Antisemitism

The far-right French politicians' visit marks a historic first for the Rassemblement National in Israel, signaling efforts to reshape its image internationally.

  • Jordan Bardella, president of the Rassemblement National (RN), and Marion Maréchal have been invited to speak at a global conference on antisemitism in Jerusalem on March 26-27.
  • This marks the first time leaders of the RN, formerly the Front National, are officially hosted by the Israeli government, reflecting efforts to distance the party from its antisemitic past.
  • The conference, organized by the Israeli government, will feature international leaders and experts addressing the modern challenges of antisemitism worldwide.
  • Bardella plans to highlight the rise in antisemitic incidents in France since October 2024, attributing it to Islamist ideology and what he perceives as the complicity of the political left.
  • The visit includes geopolitical briefings at Israel's northern and southern borders, underlining the RN's alignment with Israel in combating Islamist terrorism.
