Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleFrance’s Interior Minister Gerard Collomb condems an anti-Semitic attack in which a French Jewish leader and his family were assaulted in their home.
The statement issued over the weekend by Collomb’s office reiterates the French government’s determination “to do everything to combat every form of racism and anti-Semitism, which have no place in the French Republic.”
Collomb’s statement expresses his “indignation” about the attack, which took place Thursday night, and “according to the first elements, the motivation for this cowardly act seems to be directly related to the religion of the victim.”
“Everything will be done to identify and arrest those who carried out this foul attack,” the statement adds.
