PARIS: Israeli athletes are welcome at the Paris Olympics, French Foreign Minister Stephane Cezorn said on Monday, sparking outrage after a hard-left member of the French parliament urged them to stay away. “The Israeli delegation is welcome in France,” Sezorn said in Brussels before talks with his Israeli counterpart, calling calls by France Unboyd (LFI) lawmaker Thomas Portes to boycott the country “irresponsible and dangerous”. “We will ensure the safety of the delegation,” added Sejorn.
