Aug. 24 (UPI) -- France summoned U.S. Ambassador Charles Kushner on Sunday after he published an open letter to French President Emmanuel Macron accusing the government of failing to effectively take action on anti-Semitism.
The French Foreign Ministry issued a statement to CNN saying Kushner would be expected at the ministry's Paris headquarters Monday.
In the letter, published Sunday in The Wall Street Journal and dated Monday, Kushner wrote to Macron that he was concerned about "the dramatic rise of anti-Semitism in France and the lack of sufficient action by your government to confront it." Kushner, the father-in-law of President Donald Trump's daughter, Ivanka Trump, has served as the ambassador of France for less than seven weeks.
Since the start of the Israel-Hamas war, "pro-Hamas extremists and radical activists have waged a campaign of intimidation and violence across Europe," Kushner wrote.
