In a letter to Macron Kushner, he wrote that Monday is “the 81st anniversary of the liberation of Paris by allies, which put an end to the deportation of Jews from French land” during the Nazi occupation.

“I am writing from deep concern about the sharp growth of anti -Semitism in France and the lack of sufficient actions by your government to confront it,” Kushner wrote, whom President Donald Trump has appointed in January.

“France does not pass a single day without attacks on Jews on the streets, acts of abuse over synagogues or schools or vandalism of Jewish shops,” he added.

“Anti -Semitism has long been distorted by France’s life, but it exploded after the Barbarian attack of Hamas on October 7, 2023. Since then, prohamas extremists and radical activists have been keeping a campaign Vandalism about Jewish business, “-continued the former business partner of Trump, whom the US president had pardoned at the end of his first term after he was convicted of tax fraud.

Kushner also emphasized that “antisionism is anti -Semitism” and referred to sociological studies, according to which “half of the French youth never heard of the Holocaust”, which, he said, is concerned about the education system.

“The survey shows that most French citizens believe: another Holocaust in Europe is quite possible. Almost half of the French youth reports that she has never heard of the Holocaust,” the US ambassador says.

“What do children teach in French schools if such ignorance is stored?” Kushner asks.

The French Foreign Ministry stated that “France strongly rejects these accusations of” Kushner and that the French authorities “were completely mobilized” to combat the growth of anti -Semitic acts after Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023.

Paris stressed that such statements are contrary to international law, the principle of non -interference in the domestic affairs of the state, and “do not correspond to the level of transatlantic partnership between France and the US and trust that should exist between allies.”

Jared is a former White House Senior Advisor and Ivanka Trump’s husband, the older daughter of the US President.
