At the start of 2026, France’s Jewish community remains under pressure. Since October 7, antisemitic incidents have reached record levels across the country.

In an interview, France’s Minister responsible for combating antisemitism speaks candidly about the government’s efforts to restore security and trust for French Jews.

Declaring that “anti-Zionism is antisemitism,” she frames the fight not only as a Jewish issue, but as a battle for the future of France itself.
