The French president, Emmanuel Macron, announced this Saturday that he has ordered the Government to harden the measures to fight against anti -Semitic acts, on the eve of the Palestinian State recognized on Monday at the United Nations Assembly. “I have asked the Minister of Justice to instruct processes to even more improve the response of justice against anti -Semitism and its new forms,” Macron said in a message on social network X.
According to Macron, the goal will be “Absolute surveillance and immediate response to locate and punish the authors of anti -Semitic acts very hard“.” Faced with hate, the State will always have the last word. The nation will remain mobilized, “said the French president.
Macron has received criticism for its intention to recognize the Palestinian State, a movement that plans to do this Monday with other countries, such as the United Kingdom. After having interviewed this Friday with his Palestinian counterpart, Madmud Abás, he did this Saturday with the heir prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohamed Bin Salman, with whom he will co-preside a conference in New York, at the margin of the UN General Assembly, to promote the solution of two states to the Middle East conflictto which 142 countries have already been adhered.
That encounter “It must allow to overcome a new stage in the mobilization of the international community“For a solution that advocates” two peoples, two states, peace and security for all, “he said.
Divergence of opinions
Macron said that he understands “anguish, loneliness and fear” that the Jewish community of France can have, which has shown “his demand for justice and protection.”
This same Saturday the newspaper Le Figaro publishes a tribune signed by intellectuals, actors and popular characters in the country, most of Jewish origin, asking Macron not to recognize the Palestinian State without prior conditions, as the release of the hostages that Hamas maintains from the attack of October 7, 2023 or the dissolution of that terrorist group.
They assure that Palestine’s recognition “will be claimed as a symbolic victory of Hamas, which will aggravate the danger that looms over the Palestinians“.
