Meyer Habib campaigns for Benjamin Netanyahu

Former French deputy Meyer Habib is actively campaigning for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, leveraging a long-standing personal and political relationship dating back to the 1990s. Habib has urged French citizens living in Israel to support Netanyahu, framing the Prime Minister's leadership as essential to the country's future and warning against voting for smaller parties.

Habib’s support aligns with a strict nationalist and security-focused vision of Israeli politics, particularly regarding the conflict in Gaza. This stance resonates with a segment of the French-Israeli community that favors a firm military posture against regional threats.

This political advocacy occurs amid significant international scrutiny of Netanyahu, including an International Criminal Court arrest warrant and findings from a UN-mandated commission regarding the situation in Gaza.
