France has summoned the U.S. envoy to Paris following claims of rising antisemitism in the country. The French Foreign Ministry called in the U.S. Ambassador to France to discuss recent remarks made by the U.S. Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, regarding antisemitism in France.
During a speech to American Jewish leaders earlier this month, Blinken expressed concern about the increase in antisemitic acts in France and called on the French government to take more action to combat them. The French government, however, has strongly rejected these claims, with Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian stating that France does not tolerate any form of discrimination or hate speech.
France has one of the largest Jewish populations in Europe and has made combating antisemitism a priority in recent years. The country has implemented various measures to protect its Jewish communities and prosecute those responsible for antisemitic acts.
The U.S. Embassy in Paris has yet to issue a statement regarding the summons, but it is likely that the U.S. will reaffirm its commitment to combating antisemitism globally.
The diplomatic spat comes at a time of heightened tensions between the two countries over various issues, including trade, defense spending, and climate change policies.
