Nothing to hide here.

Why were they visiting in the first place?
-
The Israeli narrative runs on a bunch of incredibly flimsy lies so anyone critical of Israel is not allowed to come.
-
Makes sense. This is like when the nazis invited the media from other countries to visit Theresienstadt to show the world how well they were treating the Jews in camps. How far we have come.

Probably as a fact finding mission.

From the article:
They said in a statement that they had been invited on a five-day trip by the French consulate in Jerusalem. They had intended to visit Israel and the Palestinian territories as part of their mission to "strengthen international cooperation and the culture of peace", they added.

It's probably for their own safety. Reasonable people are not safe under the zio terror regime.

Like many things, this is actually Trump’s fault.
Netanyahu and the Israeli government work really hard at “bipartisan” support. They try to lobby (and bribe) members of both parties in the US and spread their influence around broadly. Trump tipped the scales by not only being hyper pro-Israel (and thus inviting Democrats to go the opposite direction) but he also publicly tweeted that Ilhan Omar and other Democrats should be banned from Israel and that Netanyahu is weak for not banning them. Netanyahu had planned to allow her and others in to keep the bipartisan lobbying going, but after Trump embarrassed him he cancelled their visas. It caused immediate blowback by Congress and damaged the bipartisan balance Netanyahu worked hard for decades on.
So of course this emboldened Netanyahu to ban others.

That would be wonderful if it were true, getting aipac out of the dem party would be one of the best things to have ever happened in US politics, that's simply not the case.
Netanyahu's favourite in France, Marine Le pen, is now permanently barred from government. The far right in France, in general, is failing. This is simply fascist consolidation of liberals. The same thing always happens as fascism approaches being accepted widely. Liberals are exclusively the ones with the will and power to hand over the keys of power to fascists.
