France rejects 'outrageous' Israeli comments accusing European officials of antisemitic incitement.
France has rejected on Thursday Israeli politicians' comments accusing European officials, including French President Emmanuel Macron, of antisemitic incitement, saying that it condemns "all antisemitic acts."
Earlier on Thursday, several Israeli politicians blamed European politicians and organizations for inciting against Jews.
Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar said the incitement is "done by leaders and officials of many countries and international organizations, especially from Europe," adding that "libels about genocide, crimes against humanity and murdering babies pave the way exactly for such murders."
Diaspora Minister Amichai Chikli specifically named several prominent world leaders as being among those responsible for the attack.
"We must also hold to account the irresponsible leaders in the West who give backing to this hatred — whether through appeasement, double standards, or silence," he wrote on X.
"French President Emmanuel Macron, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney have all, in different ways, emboldened the forces of terror through their failure to draw moral red lines. This cowardice has a price — and that price is paid in Jewish blood," he added.
