French President Emmanuel Macron has responded to a letter from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who accused France of encouraging antisemitism by recognizing Palestinian statehood. Macron dismissed the accusation, calling it an offense to the entire nation, and emphasized France's commitment to protecting its Jewish community. He highlighted the deployment of thousands of police officers to safeguard synagogues and Jewish sites following the attack by Hamas last October. Macron also urged Netanyahu to reject any plans for reoccupation of Gaza and to support the establishment of a Palestinian state.
