The French Council of the Muslim Faith (CFCM) has announced it will file a complaint over alleged Israeli-linked surveillance of Muslims in France.
"Unprecedented and extremely serious: an ‘investigation’ into French citizens of Muslim faith was allegedly requested by the CRIF (Council of Jewish Institutions of France)," CFCM said in a statement Friday.
It noted that two individuals, one of whom is reported to be an Israeli agent, carried out the investigation, "fed by political, administrative, and security authorities" in France and then transmitted to the intelligence services of "a foreign power."
The CFCM referred to a video circulating on social media in which Didier Long claimed that since early 2023, he has been working on a strategy for the CRIF and various Jewish organizations in France, in partnership with Dov Maimon, who reportedly works with Israel on relations with Islam.
Long reportedly alleged that the information they collected was passed on as a report to Israeli intelligence services.
