The French Foreign Ministry summoned the U.S. ambassador to France, Charles Kushner, over a letter he wrote to President Macron about local antisemitism. The letter, which the French Foreign Ministry called "unacceptable," was published in The Wall Street Journal.

While ‘antisemitism has long scarred French life’, Charles Kushner said hatred of Jews ‘has exploded’ since Hamas’ October 2023 assault.

Kushner says in letter to Macron he’s concerned over ‘rise of antisemitism’ and ‘lack of sufficient action’ to confront it
