France firmly rejected the accusations of the Chief of Israeli diplomacy on Thursday, May 22, which accused European incentives “after Washington murder of two employees of the Israel Embassy.
These are “perfectly scandalous and perfectly unjustified words,” said Christophe Lemoine, spokesman for the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
“France has condemned, France Condemas and France will continue to condemn any anti -Semitic act,” he said.
The head of Israeli diplomacy, Gideon Saar, had accused European countries of “hatred incitement” after the tragic event in the US capital.
“There is a direct link between anti-Semitic and Anti-Israeli incitement, and this murder. This incentive is also the result of leaders and officials from many international countries and organizations, particularly in Europe,” he said during a press conference in Jerusalem.
A “horrible attack”
On the way to Niza, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barot repeated that France had condemned “this abomination, this horrible attack that attacked Israeli diplomats.”
He said he also sent a message to his Israeli counterpart on Thursday morning “to tell him how much he fought with what happened, how much I thought of the families of these diplomats, but also of all his colleagues in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Israel.”
“This blind violence obviously does not have to be” and is “absolutely condemnable,” added the French minister, emphasizing the mobilization of the French government “to guarantee the safety of the members of the Jewish community in our country.”
“We are displaying the explosion of anti -Semitic acts that we have seen in the national territory in recent years, but we are fighting this explosion with the greatest firmness,” he also said.
