France joins in the growing condemnation of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas’s August 26 speech on the Holocaust and the origin of Ashkenazi Jews, calling it “clearly unacceptable.”
France’s Embassy states that it “unequivocally strongly condemns antisemitism and the denial of the Holocaust in all its forms, as well as its determination to fight tirelessly against these scourges.”
