Given the tortuous histories of France and Germany, rising antisemitism in both countries is of particular concern in the wake of the 7 October Hamas massacre in Israel and the Israeli government's retaliatory war.
Germany's vice-chancellor, Robert Habeck, recorded an unflinching, direct 10-minute video statement. He posited that Israel's security was a part of Germany's Staatsrason, emphasising a responsibility that was both collective and deeply individual to each person in Germany. Habeck reminded Germans three times that the Holocaust occurred within living memory.
