With several French-Israeli citizens believed held hostage by Hamas, Mr. Macron pledged that France would protect its Jewish citizens and be ''ruthless toward all those who bear hate" and noted concerns about hostility toward France's Muslims too. The French government has reported 24 arrests for more than 100 antisemitic acts in France since Hamas attacked Israel on Saturday, including verbal abuse, people caught with knives near Jewish schools and synagogues and a drone equipped with a camera spotted over a Jewish cultural centre. Hamas a terrorist group: Macron Denouncing Hamas as a terrorist group, Mr. Macron called for peace efforts that would ensure both Israel's security and a Palestinian state.
