French Jews who also hold Israeli citizenship will have to give up one of their nationalities if Marine Le Pen, the far-Right candidate, wins the presidential election this spring. She is forecast to win the first round of the presidential election in April. Dual nationals of Arab and African countries would also have to renounce their French citizenship, she said in an interview with France 2 television. Le Pen, 48, who supports Brexit and says she would hold a “Frexit” referendum and ditch the euro if elected, did not specify if British dual nationals would also be forced to choose. It doesn’t mean that if they don’t choose French nationality, they have to leave.
