In response to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's accusation that French President Emmanuel Macron is "fueling antisemitic flames" in the country, French Minister for European Affairs Benjamin Haddad replied that "we have nothing to learn in the fight against antisemitism. This issue, which poisons society in Europe, should not be exploited." Haddad noted that "we have seen a rise in violent antisemitic incidents since October 7" and claimed that authorities in France "have always been ready to act against antisemitism."
