Israel denounces ‘heinous’ murder of French Holocaust survivor

The Foreign Ministry condemns the “heinous” murder of an 85-year-old French Holocaust survivor in what police are treating as an anti-Semitic attack.

“Israel is appalled at the heinous murder of Mireille Knoll in Paris,” the ministry says in a statement.

“The murder of the 85-year-old Holocaust survivor, prompted by antisemitism and blind hatred, underlines the need to continue combating antisemitism in all its variations,” it says.

A march to honor Knoll is set to take place later this afternoon near her Paris home.
