PARIS, 26 AUGUST 2025, (TON): France has summoned the American ambassador to Paris, Charles Kushner after he wrote a few letter to President Emmanuel Macron alleging that the country had not taken sufficient action to combat antisemitism.
France’s foreign ministry confirmed that it had summoned Charles Kushner to appear Monday, 25 August over his “unacceptable criticism”.
Charles Kushner, the US ambassador to France who assumed office on July 11, 2025, has written to the French president on August 24, 2025, to denounce the government's "lack of sufficient action" in confronting antisemitism, days after similar remarks from the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The French ministry said Kushner’s allegations violated international law and the obligation not to interfere with the internal affairs of another country. “They also fall short of the quality of the transatlantic partnership between France and the United States and of the trust that must prevail between allies," it said.
France said last month that it plans to recognize a Palestinian state in September, while other traditional allies of Israel, such as Australia and Canada, have said they will do the same.
As the Independence of Palestine is approaching near all efforts to defeat the sovereignty is being planned. Last week, President Macron denounced Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's accusations that the move was fueling antisemitism.
