Event Summary

France has summoned Charles Kushner, the US ambassador, after he published an open letter in the The Wall Street Journal accusing President Emmanuel Macron of failing to adequately address antisemitism in France. Charles Kushner's letter also criticized Emmanuel Macron's stance on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, particularly France's plan to recognize a Palestinian state, arguing it emboldens extremists and fuels antisemitism. France firmly refuted these allegations, calling them 'unacceptable' and a violation of the 1961 Vienna Convention, which prohibits diplomats from interfering in a country's internal affairs. The French foreign ministry stated that while it deplores the rise in antisemitic acts since the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, it is fully mobilized against them. Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, also sent a letter to Emmanuel Macron with similar accusations. The United States State Department has publicly supported Charles Kushner's comments, further escalating the diplomatic tension.
