Lapid: Attack on French synagogue is part of ‘Palestinian terror campaign against Jews’

Opposition Leader Yair Lapid condemns an arson attack on a synagogue in southern France as “another horrific act of antisemitism,” and charges that it was a “tragic continuation of the Palestinian terror campaign against Jewish people.”

A suspect caught on a surveillance camera outside the Beth Yaacov synagogue in the seaside resort of La Grande-Motte, near the city of Montpellier, was caught in surveillance camera footage wrapped in a Palestinian flag and wearing a keffiyeh scarf.

“There is a direct connection between the terrorism of Hamas, the antisemitic demonstrations against Israel around the world, and the attack in France. I am sure that the French authorities will do everything to bring those responsible to justice,” Lapid writes on X.

French authorities are treating the blast as a potential terror attack.
