French envoy: Paris won't be idle in face of Iranian threat
ByGIL STERN STERN SHEFLERFrench ambassador to Israel Christophe Bigot said during a ceremony in Jerusalem on Tuesday that his country would not stand idly by in the face of Iran@@@s nuclear ambitions."We must act resolutely towards the Iranian regime which seeks not only to have a nuclear weapon, but also denies the very existence of the right for Israel to exist," he said. "In front of these words and actions, France will not be a passive witness.”Bigot, who was a guest speaker at the event honoring a Holocaust survivor, also touched on the issue of anti-Semitism in France saying it was still a potentially potent force that cannot be taken lightly."To play down these acts, or worse, to be indifferent to them, is an indignity because nothing, not even a word, is trivial," he said. "We have to repeat, again and again, that anti-Semitism is not an opinion, but an abjection."ByREUTERS06/08/2025 07:57 AMByREUTERS06/08/2025 05:36 AMByMAARIV06/07/2025 02:33 PMByWALLA!06/07/2025 11:18 AMByREUTERS06/07/2025 03:25 AM
