Visiting French FM: ‘Reasonable to assume’ Paris Holocaust survivor murdered in hate crime
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleVisiting French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian says he is not surprised to learn that Paris authorities suspect an anti-Semitic motive in the murder of a Holocaust survivor over the weekend.
Speaking ahead of his meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Le Drian says the suspicions will only serve to strengthen France’s resolve to combat anti-Semitism.
“We cannot yet say if the motive for the murder was anti-Semitism but it is reasonable to assume, it will not be surprising and, therefore, this only strengthens the fact that this struggle has not ended, and that we will need to continue fighting against anti-Semitism,” he says according to a statement from the Prime Minister’s Office.
