Jordan Bardella and Marion Maréchal to Speak at Israeli Conference on Antisemitism

The far-right French politicians are invited to Jerusalem by the Israeli government for a historic event addressing global antisemitism.

Jordan Bardella, president of the Rassemblement National (RN), and Marion Maréchal, a European Parliament member, will attend a major international conference on antisemitism in Jerusalem on March 26-27, 2025.
The Israeli government extended the invitation, marking the first time figures from France's far-right have been officially included in such an event.
Bardella is set to deliver a speech focusing on the rise of antisemitism in France, particularly following the October 7, 2024, attacks by Hamas.
The visit is part of the RN's ongoing efforts to distance itself from its historical association with antisemitism and reposition as a mainstream political force.
The itinerary includes visits to Israel's northern and southern borders to provide the French politicians with insights into the country's geopolitical challenges.
