France summons US envoy over antisemitism claims
France summons US envoy over antisemitism claims in response to US Ambassador Charles Kushner's allegations of rising antisemitism in France since the Gaza conflict. Kushner criticized President Macron for his stance on Israel and cited instances of antisemitism in France. France rebuts these claims as "unacceptable" and plans to summon Kushner to address the issue, emphasizing that ambassadors should not interfere in internal affairs. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu also criticized Macron in a similar vein, in light of France's intention to recognize Palestine in September.
