Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen stated that France's President Emmanuel Macron adopted anti-Semitic measures. According to him, during Macron's speech, he adopted anti-Semitic rhetoric. National stereotypes and anti-Semitic views, as Lapid believes, cannot be justified...
"I urge France to take a reasonable position. Macron should redirect his relations with Judaism. The stereotypes characteristic of anti-Semitism, and specifically such words were wielded by Macron," noted the minister.
According to Lapid's observations, the ordinary citizens of France who believe reject anti-Semitism and support friendship with Israel. "The problem is with European leaders who support anti-Semitic theories," he added.
Lapid assured that Israel will decisively react to any act of anti-Semitism and will protect its citizens in necessary moments.
