  "summary": "Yossi Dagan, the head of the Samaria Regional Council, was turned back at a Paris airport after landing last week, according to a statement from his office. Haaretz reports that Dagan was taken for questioning upon arrival because of his role in building communities in the West Bank. Al-Monitor further notes that Dagan claims France turned him back at the airport.\n\nThe French foreign ministry did not confirm a deportation, stating instead that Dagan was banned from French territory due to his involvement in illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank, according to France 24. Le Monde English reported that he was questioned during passport control and banned for his active role in implementing settlement policy. The Times of Israel noted that Dagan has called for the resettlement of Gaza and the annexation of the West Bank.\n\nIsrael denounced the French decision on Wednesday as completely unacceptable, according to The Times of Israel.",
