Emmanuel Macron received the Representative Council of Jewish Institutions of France (Crif) at the Élysée on Monday. The head of state denounced a “new wave” of anti-Semitism since the Hamas attacks against Israel on October 7.

“Every time the slightest trace ofAnti-Semitism reappears, we will be intractable as we have always been,” he promised. In his eyes, “ radical Islamism ” would be only the last of the “ masks of hatred ” behind which it thrives.
