In a letter addressed to President Emmanuel Macron and dated August 25 - the 81st anniversary of the Allied Liberation of Paris, which ended the deportation of Jews under Nazi occupation - Ambassador Charles Kushner expressed “deep concern over the dramatic rise of antisemitism in France and the lack of sufficient action by your government to confront it.” The Elysee Palace dismissed Netanyahu’s comments as “abject” and “erroneous.” Still, Kushner also condemned Macron’s stance on the war in Gaza and the recognition of Palestinian statehood, arguing such positions “embolden extremists, fuel violence, and endanger Jewish life in France.” The French President twice called for an arms embargo against Israel to stop the conflict with Hamas and Hezbollah, saying that "stopping the export of weapons" used by Israel in Gaza and Lebanon was the only way to end fighting there.
