President Emmanuel Macron has said that the State will continue to fight anti-Semitism, which has been on the rise since the Hamas attacks in Israel on 7 October. He was speaking at a yearly dinner marking the 80th year anniversary of the creation of the Council of Jewish Institutions of France (Crif).

"Every time the slightest trace of anti-Semitism reappears, we will treat it as uncompromisingly as my predecessors," Macron said on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the Crif at the Palais Elysée on Monday evening.
