France calls for a collective response to “one of the worst explosions of antisemitism” in Europe’s recent history, as EU ministers gather to discuss the issue.
French European Affairs Minister Benjamin Haddad says he organized the gathering in Brussels with his Dutch counterpart to tackle a resurgence in antisemitic violence since the start of the war in Gaza last year.
“I wanted us to have… a frank conversation about the causes of the rise in antisemitism and the best ways to address it and really make it a priority for the European institutions,” Haddad, who has Jewish heritage, tells AFP.
Haddad says Europe is witnessing “one of the worst outbreaks of antisemitism” since World War II.
“When we talk about antisemitism, it is not just the defense of European Jewish communities that is at stake, it is the preservation… of our fundamental values,” he adds.
