Netanyahu accuses Macron of fueling anti-Semitism by accepting the State of Palestine
The Elysée has described the words of the Israeli Prime Minister as "wrong and vile" and "will not remain unanswered."
Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has accused French President Emmanuel Macron of "fueling anti-Semitic hatred" by accepting the State of Palestine. These words have caused unrest in Paris and have urged the Israeli Government not to use such a serious issue as anti-Semitism.
Netanyahu has sent a letter to the French president criticizing his recent statements "against Israel," warning of the situation in the Gaza Strip and the "alarming" escalation of anti-Semitism in the European country, as well as the government's failure to take "decisive" measures to address this "problem."
It has also accused him of "fueling anti-Semitic fire", "rewarding" Hamas, "reinforcing" the militia's position, not facilitating the release of hostages in the enclave, and "encouraging" hatred of Jews on the streets of France.
In response, the Elysée has stated in a statement that Israel's analysis of the rise of anti-Semitism in France by the recognition of Palestine is "wrong" and "vile," so it will not be "unanswered."
Macron announced at the end of August that France will recognize the State of Palestine at the United Nations General Assembly in September because of its "historic commitment to a just and lasting peace in the Middle East."
The French president planned to recognize the State of Palestine at the international summit to be sponsored by Paris and Riyadh in mid-June at the United Nations headquarters in New York, but the ceremony was suspended due to the exchange of attacks between Israel and Iran.
