The reasons for the convocation
Charles Kushner said France would not adopt “sufficient measures” to stop the growth of anti -Semitic acts. His words have been defined as “unacceptable” by several French representatives. In the Elysée press release we read: “The accusations of the ambassador are unacceptable. International law violates”. The French government responded decisively, underlining that the criticisms addressed to the French president have passed a line considered not tolerable.
Official response of France
French officials chose to convene the American ambassador in the same way in which, a few days earlier, the Italian one had been summoned for similar reasons, that is, the words towards the president by Matteo Salvini. On both occasions, Paris spoke of “unacceptable comments” against Macron. This diplomatic signal serves to mark a clear line in relations between countries. The French Foreign Ministry wanted to defend its president and demonstrate that public accusations, especially in front of the international community, would not remain unanswered.
Increase in episodes of anti -Semitism in France
In recent years, France has recorded an increase in episodes of anti -Semitism, a factor that has contributed to making the clash between the two nations even more delicate. These events have also drawn the attention of other European capitals. The accusations of Charles Kushner have inserted themselves in this context, increasing the pressure on French institutions.
Reactions and international atmosphere
The clash between France and the United States has not gone unnoticed by other international governments and observers. In particular, the question of anti -Semitic acts has fueled the public debate even outside the French borders. There were no statements by other international political leaders in the hours following the convocation, but the speed with which France has acted shows how sensitive the theme is for Paris and for its reputation on the world scene. And how much Macron is lately nervous, a little for the little support that records a little at home because on the international scene his dream of “replacing” the USA collided with the renewed activism of Donald Trump. His expression at the Table of the willing EU at the top with the USA and Zelensky spoke more than a thousand words.
