France's Macron welcomes the arrest in the West Bank of Palestinian suspect in the 1982 Paris attack

France's president on Friday welcomed the arrest this week in the occupied West Bank of a key Palestinian suspect in a 1982 terror attack in Paris, calling it the result of “excellent cooperation” with the Palestinian Authority.

The suspect, Hicham Harb, 70, is accused of overseeing the militants who stormed the Jo Goldenberg restaurant on Rue des Rosiers on Aug. 9, 1982. Six people were killed and 22 were wounded in what became one of modern France’s most notorious antisemitic attacks.
