France increases security for Jewish holidays celebrations

France's Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau has urged police and security officials to maintain "extreme vigilance" during the upcoming Jewish holidays of Purim and Passover. This call focuses on ensuring safety around places of worship. The government aims to protect Jewish communities during these celebrations, continuing a trend from previous years. Last year, heightened security measures were also implemented during these holidays. In light of ongoing global tensions, the emphasis on security reflects a commitment to preventing potential threats. Similar precautions were taken last year, with police and military presence at synagogues and Jewish schools.
