Words that do not pass. France summoned, Monday, August 25, the American ambassador to Paris Charles Kushner after his comments ” unacceptable “ targeting the French president Emmanuel Macron, accused by the diplomat of ” lack of sufficient action “ In the fight against anti -Semitism, reports AFP.
“” The allegations of the ambassador are unacceptable. They go against international law, in particular the duty not to interfere in the internal affairs of the States provided for by the 1961 Vienne Convention which governs diplomatic relations “deplored the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in response.
Kushner aligns with Netanyahu
In a letter addressed to the Head of State, consulted on Sunday by AFP, the ambassador expressed “His deep concern in the face of the outbreak of anti -Semitism in France and the lack of sufficient action of (her) government to fight it ”. Charles Kushner’s arguments echo the recent positions of Benyamin Netanyahu. In recent weeks, the Israeli Prime Minister has expressed unprecedented virulence towards Emmanuel Macron on the issue of anti-Semitism, triggering a crisis of unprecedented magnitude.
Benyamin Netanyahu did not digest the French president’s decision to recognize a Palestinian state in September, during the UN General Assembly in New York. In a letter made public last Tuesday, the head of government said that Emmanuel Macron’s decision “Promotes the hatred of the Jews in the streets”, Giving to illustrate your point a list of recent anti -Semitic attacks. The guise of replica, the French head of state had qualified this reaction as“Abject” while ensuring that “France protects and will always protect the Jews”.
The American ambassador to Paris, also father of Jared Kushner, the son -in -law of Donald Trump, in turn attacked the Elysée. “There is no day in France without Jews being attacked in the streets, synagogues and degraded schools, and companies belonging to vandalized Jews. The Ministry of the Interior of your own government notes that nursery schools have been targeted by anti -Semitic damage ”, he wrote. The representative of the United States in France is also indignant that “Almost half of young French people says he has heard of the Shoah”.
