Netanyahu accuse Macron "d'alimenter le feu antisémite" et lui fixe un ultimatum
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has accused French President Emmanuel Macron of "fueling the anti-Semitic fire" in France by calling for international recognition of the State of Palestine, according to an official letter to the French head of state.
This accusation was firmly rejected by Paris.
"I call on you to replace weakness with action, appeasement with will, and to do so before a clear date: the Jewish New Year, September 23, 2025," said the letter signed by Mr. Netanyahu, dated August 17, and sent to AFP on Tuesday.
"I am concerned by the alarming rise of anti-Semitism in France and the lack of decisive action by your government to address it. In recent years, anti-Semitism has ravaged French cities," Netanyahu wrote.
"Since your public statements attacking Israel and signaling recognition of a Palestinian state, it has increased," he says.
"Following Hamas's savage attack on the Israeli people on October 7, 2023, pro-Hamas extremists and left-wing radicals launched a campaign of intimidation, vandalism, and violence against Jews across Europe," a campaign that "has intensified in France" under Mr. Macron's term, the Israeli Prime Minister believes.
France has "no lessons to learn in the fight against anti-Semitism," retorted European Affairs Minister Benjamin Haddad on BFMTV, calling for the issue of "anti-Semitism, which is poisoning our European societies," not to be "exploited."
According to him, the French authorities have "always been extremely mobilized against anti-Semitism."
In his letter, Mr. Netanyahu lists several recent incidents, including the ransacking of the entrance to the offices of the Israeli airline El Al in Paris, the assault of a Jewish man in Livry-Gargan, and rabbis "attacked in the streets of Paris." "These incidents are not isolated. They constitute a plague," he emphasizes.
"Your call for a Palestinian state fuels this anti-Semitic fire. (...). It rewards Hamas's terror, reinforces Hamas's refusal to release the hostages, encourages those who threaten French Jews, and fosters the hatred of Jews that now prowls your streets," Netanyahu continued.
As a counter-example, he praises US President Donald Trump for his "fight" against anti-Semitic crimes and for "protecting American Jews."
"President Macron, anti-Semitism is a cancer. It spreads when leaders remain silent. It recedes when leaders act," the Israeli Prime Minister added.
The war in the Gaza Strip, triggered by the unprecedented attack by the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas on Israel on October 7, 2023, has rekindled international pressure to recognize the State of Palestine.
At the end of July, Mr. Macron announced that France would recognize the State of Palestine at the UN General Assembly in September. Subsequently, more than a dozen Western countries, including Canada and Australia, called on other countries around the world to do the same.
The UN General Assembly, scheduled for September, ends precisely on the 23rd, the date set by Mr. Netanyahu in his letter.
According to the Australian press, Mr. Netanyahu sent a similar letter on August 17 to the Australian Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, whom he also accuses of "fueling the anti-Semitic fire," and whom he also calls on to act before September 23.
Furthermore, France will co-chair an international conference with Saudi Arabia in September aimed at relaunching the so-called "two-state" solution, Palestinian and Israeli.

Macron utilise le conflit palestinien pour se faire une image.S'il voulait vraiment aider la Palestine il allait arrêter de financer Israël

Paris : ils veulent faire libérer Nénette, orang-outan captive depuis 53 ans au Jardin des plantes
À l’occasion de la Journée mondiale des orangs-outans ce mardi 19 août, PAZ organise un rassemblement devant la Ménagerie du Jardin des plantes. Elle dénonce les conditions de détention des cinq grands singes, dont Nénette, captive depuis 53 ans.
C'est le plus gradé dans le satanisme qui parle à son disciple, celui-là qui avait prédit l'apparition de la bête de l'événement lors de leur programme covid19.
Je crois comprendre que Netanyahu n'a pas menacé la France d'un attentat djihadiste, cette fois ? C'était le cas lorsque la France avait soutenu l'adhésion de la Palestine à l'UNESCO.
