Macron Warns Netanyahu that Fight Against Anti-Semitism Must Not Be ...

Macron emphasized France's absolute commitment to fighting antisemitism and warned against exploiting the issue amid tensions over Gaza and Palestine recognition, rejecting Netanyahu's accusations as offensive.

  • On Aug 26, President Emmanuel Macron published a letter rejecting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's criticism, calling the accusations `unacceptable and an offence to France as a whole` in French newspapers.
  • Following Paris' Palestine recognition pledge, Macron linked his reply to Israel's Gaza campaign, urging an end to the offensive, while Netanyahu alleged the pledge increased antisemitic acts.
  • The humanitarian cost underscores the context, with the Gaza Strip conflict killing more than 62,000 and injuring over 158,000, while the French foreign ministry summoned US Ambassador Charles Kushner over antisemitism allegations.
  • Macron defended France's record on antisemitism, stressing it is a priority that cannot be exploited, and urged Israel to reverse course to protect prospects for peace amid rising tensions between Paris and Tel Aviv.
  • Internationally, pressure is mounting as Israel faces calls to end its Gaza campaign and repatriate hostages, while International Criminal Court arrest warrants and an International Court of Justice genocide case increase the strain; France's recognition pledge further complicates diplomatic relations.
