French publisher Hachette has recalled a school dictionary after it described the Israeli victims of the October 7 attacks as 'Jewish settlers.' The same phrase appeared in three other educational books, prompting the company to withdraw all four titles from sale and announce their destruction. Hachette has pledged a thorough review of its textbooks and educational materials to prevent similar issues in the future. The incident drew criticism from President Emmanuel Macron, who condemned the misrepresentation of the attacks and emphasized that revisionism is unacceptable in France.
