An AI-generated depiction of Gazans arriving in Paris prompted France’s Foreign Ministry to refer to its entry restriction on Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, Anadolu Agency reported Wednesday.

The ministry’s French Response account posted on X: “Imagine having a magic lamp and wasting your wish on … Ben-Gvir. Even magic can’t lift his ban from entering France.”

Anadolu Agency separately reported that Ben-Gvir’s Gaza campaign clip presented the territory as largely empty in 2030, with damage to schools and port facilities. EconoTimes previously reported on the separate Gaza 2030 clip.

The agency also reported that Ben-Gvir has called for Israel to occupy Gaza, displace its Palestinian residents and establish settlements there. Arab parties accused him of using actions against Palestinians to build support and discourage Arab voters, Anadolu Agency reported. Israel’s parliamentary election is scheduled for Oct. 27.
