French President Emmanuel Macron condemned the 'scourge of antisemitism' following the gang-rape of a 12-year-old Jewish girl in Courbevoie, a Paris suburb. The attack, described by police as a hate crime, involved three boys aged 12 and 13, who subjected the victim to antisemitic abuse. Macron has asked Education Minister Nicole Belloubet to ensure schools hold dialogues on racism and antisemitism to prevent hate speech from infiltrating classrooms. French Jewish communities and leaders have expressed outrage, with Chief Rabbi Haim Korsia calling for stern punishment for the perpetrators. The incident comes amid a rise in antisemitic acts in France, which have surged since the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7. Protests against antisemitism have erupted, highlighting the heightened social tensions as France approaches its parliamentary elections.
