French far-right leader Bardella leaves hotel in Jerusalem

Jordan Bardella, the leader of France's far-right National Rally (RN) party, made an unprecedented visit to Israel to attend a conference focused on combating anti-Semitism. 

This visit has garnered attention due to Bardella's position at the helm of the RN, a party that has long been associated with controversial views on immigration, nationalism, and European integration. His participation in a conference aimed at addressing anti-Semitism may seem surprising, given the RN's historical stance on certain issues, but it also signals a shift or attempt to engage in discussions on combating hate and extremism. 

Bardella's presence at the event in Jerusalem is likely part of an effort to engage with Israel on matters of mutual interest, particularly regarding the fight against anti-Semitism, a crucial issue not only in Europe but also globally.
