France vows 'merciless fight' against antisemitism after anti-Jewish graffiti found in Paris

French Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne has pledged to "mercilessly fight" against rising anti-Semitism after anti-Jewish graffiti was discovered on buildings in several districts of Paris. Borne emphasized that the situation in the Middle East does not justify anti-Semitism and that her government is determined to combat it. Since the recent Israel-Hamas conflict, French authorities have registered 857 anti-Semitic acts, prompting Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin to open investigations and assure Jewish communities of their protection.
