In an unprecedented diplomatic response, French officials summoned United States Ambassador Jared Kushner to express strong objections over a letter perceived as antisemitic and “unacceptable.” The missive, circulated recently, has sparked tensions between the two allies, with France emphasizing its zero-tolerance stance on antisemitism and safeguarding the dignity of all communities within its borders.

Key points raised by France included:

  • Condemnation of rhetoric undermining social cohesion and promoting harmful stereotypes
  • Request for clarifications and assurances to prevent further diplomatic strain
  • Emphasis on the importance of bilateral respect and communication
