Marine Le Pen received in secret by Israel's ambassador in Paris, Joshua Zarka

Marine Le Pen was discreetly received on Wednesday by Israel's ambassador in Paris, Joshua Zarka. Meeting was unannounced, signaling RN's support for Israel. She is awaiting the decision on her eligibility for 2027.

The leader of the Marine Le Pen party was received privately by the ambassador of Israel in Paris, a meeting revealed by i24 and later confirmed by the embassy.

The discussion is part of the rapprochement between the Rassemblement national and certain Israeli authorities, a process already illustrated by the trip to Israel of Jordan Bardella accompanied by Marion Maréchal.

Marine Le Pen publicly defends the actions of Benyamin Netanyahou in the ongoing conflict, a position that fuels public debate about the nature and limits of the relationship between Paris and Tel Aviv.

The discreet visit comes as the party's dédiabolisation strategy aims to normalize its international contacts, and as media such as L'Opinion discussed as early as 2023 the lifting of restrictions on certain diplomatic contacts.

This meeting takes place at a time when Marine Le Pen is facing the affaire des assistants parlementaires and the requisitions of the parquet et inéligibilité, which could jeopardize her candidacy for 2027.

What position do you feel closer to?

Soutiens RN pro-Israël

This meeting marks a key step toward the RN's international normalization and strengthens Marine Le Pen's stature as a credible future head of state, clearly aligned with the defense of Israel.

Opposants au RN inquiets

This discreet meeting looks less like a routine diplomatic move and more like a political whitewashing operation for the RN ahead of 2027, dangerously normalizing the French far right.
