National Front’s leader Marine Le Pen will face centrist candidate Emmanuel Macron in the election runoff on Sunday.
The Israeli government officially boycotts the National Front. In January, a visit of the party’s secretary-general to Israel and his meeting with Young Likud Chairman had sparked controversy.
