“Unacceptable” remarks: the American ambassador to France summoned to Paris
The American ambassador to France, Charles Kushner, will be summoned on Monday to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs after criticisms who provoked the anger of Paris on “the lack of sufficient action” of President Emmanuel Macron against anti -Semitism.
In a letter addressed to the Head of State obtained on Sunday by AFP, the ambassador expresses “his deep concern in the face of the outbreak of anti -Semitism in France and the lack of sufficient action of (his) government to fight it”, joining the criticisms of Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu. “Declarations which vilify Israel and gestures in recognition of a Palestinian State encourage extremists, foment violence and jeopardize Judeity in France (…) Today, it is no longer possible to procrastinate: anti -Zionism is anti -Semitism, point.”
“Unacceptable” accusations, according to the spokesperson for the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who “refutes firmly”: “They go against international law, in particular the duty not to interfere in the internal affairs of the States (…). They are also not up to the quality of the transatlantic link between France and the United States and the confidence that must result between allies ”. He said that “the ambassador Kushner will be summoned to the Quai d’Orsay this Monday, August 25,”, a extremely rare measure between Allies.
