Netanyahu criticises Macron over attacks on Jewish sites in Paris
Briefly

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has condemned French President Emmanuel Macron for not doing enough to combat antisemitism after recent vandalism attacks on Jewish sites in Paris. Attackers defaced three synagogues, a Jewish restaurant, and a Holocaust memorial, prompting outrage and condemnation from officials including the French Interior Minister and Paris's Mayor. Authorities have begun investigations, with past incidents suggesting possible involvement of foreign influences. Netanyahu's comments, made on social media, criticized Macron's focus on Palestinian statehood while ignoring rising antisemitism in France.
The attacks on synagogues and a Holocaust memorial in Paris are a direct result of the rampant incitement against Jews in France.
Anti-semitism has no place in our city and in our republic.
Authorities stated that there was reason to believe Russian intelligence services were involved in an apparent attempt to stir tensions in French society.
This is not the first time in recent years that Jewish sites have been targeted in apparent antisemitic attacks.
