This is the first time that a member of the national rally plans to go there. Jordan Bardella is expected in Israel at the end of March, BFMTV learned of those around him this Wednesday, March 12, confirming information from Figaro.
At the invitation of the Israeli government, the president of the National demonstration must participate in the International Conference of the Fight against Anti -Semitism that will take place on March 26 and 27 in Jerusalem. According to our colleagues, he must speak there to evoke the emergence of semitism in France.
Last February, Jordan Bardella had already been able to meet the Israeli minister of the diaspora, regardless of his trip to Washington for a meeting of conservatives.
From an anti -Semitic party to a party that defends the Jews
An invitation that testifies to a change in the perception of the national demonstration in public opinion on subjects linked to anti-Semitism, the party that has had a lot of time, has always been considered an anti-Semitic party, particularly overlooked by the figure of its founder, Jean-Marie Le Pen, with condemned several times.
Among the significant facts of this change in recent years, the participation of the party in the march against anti-Semitism in November 2023. Another fact that illustrates this change in relationship between the country of the Middle East and the extreme French right: 37 deputies of RN are currently members of the Friendship-Israel Friendship Group, which has 103 members in all.
In recent years, its members are prosecuted to belong to the party that defends the Jews in France, especially after the October 7 attack in Israel, in which they quickly took a position. The past of the national demonstration remains, however, a tension issue. In November 2023, Jordan Bardella said he did not “believe” that “Jean-Marie Le Pen was anti-Semitic”, despite the multiple convictions of the founder of the National Front.
