French far-right leader: Israel and France must ‘join forces’ to fight antisemitism
Zev Stub is the Times of Israel's Diaspora Affairs correspondent.
France must work with Israel in its fight against antisemitism, says the leader of France’s far-right National Union party at the Israeli government’s international conference in Jerusalem on combating antisemitism.
“In the face of the disturbing resurgence of anti-Jewish hatred throughout Europe and the world, and in the face of terrorism that intends to destroy our lives and our values, we French believe more than ever that our nations must unite their voices and join forces in the fight,” Jordan Bardella says.
“I am aware of the symbolic importance of my invitation here, and the responsibility of my party to history in the war against barbarism — which is also our war,” he adds.
