France has urged Middle Eastern countries to end calls for a boycott of its goods. The French foreign ministry said the "baseless" calls for a boycott were being "pushed by a radical minority". The statement said, French products have been removed from some shops in Kuwait, Jordan and Qatar.

France has set new standards of democracy for its minorities by projecting huge images, considered blasphemous by the Muslims, on a local government building. It was to express solidarity with history teacher murdered in greater Paris area on 16 October 2020.
