Israel’s Foreign Minister Yair Lapid forbade letting in the building of the Ministry of Meir Habiba, a French businessman and a deputy of the National Assembly of France. Sources in the Israeli Foreign Ministry to which the local Walla News site refers, they say that this is due to the statements of Habiba about the Prime Minister Naftali Bestnet.
Last week, a delegation of the Council of Jewish organizations of France arrived in Israel. Her members wanted to meet with the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Yarir Lapid, as well as with other ministers. However, on the eve of their arrival in Israel, they were reported to them that the Lapid would be happy to accept them, but Meir Habiba (close friend of Benjamina Netanyahu) does not want to see and will not be allowed in the Foreign Ministry, writes newsru.co.il.
Israeli site “Maariv” writes that the reason for the announcement of Habiba is an intervention in the internal policy of Israel. The fact is that a few months ago, after bringing the oath of the new Israeli government, French politicians met with Naftali Bennet. The guests asked Bennett questions about Iran, about the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, about the crisis caused by the crown evirus epidemic, but when the turn of Habiba, he began to talk about internal political problems in Israel. Those present at that meeting were told that Habib was aggressively attacked Bennet, he stated that he had violated the promises that gave its allies.
Meir Habib was born in Paris in the family of Jewish emigrants from Italy and Tunisia. He was the head of the Federation of Jewish organizations of France.
