Netanyahu accuses France of yielding to extremist Islamism

noticiasaominuto.com (Portuguese) —

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused France of yielding to an invasion of extremist Islamism following weekend violence and looting in French cities. In an i24News interview, Netanyahu advised France to fight extremists rather than seek appeasement, claiming he warned President Emmanuel Macron after the October 2023 Hamas attack that failure to eliminate militants would bring the problem to Paris. The remarks echo unsubstantiated far-right claims about Islamic law in European regions, similar to Donald Trump's statements. France saw about 2,400 arrests and roughly 1,000 police injured during unrest tied to purchasing power protests.
