Kushner, who is Jewish and the father of Jared Kushner (President Donald Trump&#8217;s son-in-law), wrote to French President Emmanuel Macron urging decisive action against hate crimes and greater protection for Jewish communities. The french Embassy condemned Kushner&#8217;s accusations as &#8220;unacceptable&#8221; and emphasized the government&#8217;s commitment to combating antisemitism, calling his approach damaging to the trust between France and the U.S. macron&#8217;s office dismissed claims linking the recognition of Palestine to the rise in antisemitic violence as erroneous and vowed to respond firmly. France, home to Europe&#8217;s largest Jewish population, recently recognized a Palestinian state, a move criticized by Israel and some U.S. officials. Macron recently met with Trump and other leaders to discuss international issues including peace in Ukraine. <br \/> <!DOCTYPE html><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Kushner called to France foreign ministry after saying Macron&rsquo;s handling of antisemitism falls short<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2210210\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p><a data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"3779947\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/foreign-policy\/3779947\/indian-european-postal-services-suspend-shipments-to-us-over-tariffs\/\" class=\"mediapress-link\">France<\/a> is making the stern step of summoning the American ambassador to <a data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"3759869\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/3759869\/macron-free-speech-hypocrisy-candace-owens-lawsuit\/\" class=\"mediapress-link\">Paris<\/a>, Charles Kushner, after he alleged the country emboldened extremists by recognizing a Palestinian state.<\/p>\n<p>Summoning an ambassador is a noted form of displeasure, which France is using after calling Kushner&rsquo;s allegations &ldquo;unacceptable.&rdquo; Kushner, who is Jewish, is the father of President Donald Trump&rsquo;s son-in-law, Jared.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/foreign-policy\/3780414\/vance-putin-puppet-regime-ukraine\/\">Vance says Putin won&rsquo;t put &lsquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >puppet regime&#038;rsquo<\/a>; in Ukraine, touts Trump&rsquo;s &lsquo;energetic diplomacy&rsquo;<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/3780161\/israeli-airstrikes-yemen-capital-houthis\/\">Israeli airstrikes hit Yemen&rsquo;s capital, targeting Iran-backed Houthis<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/3780098\/lavrov-russia-putin-meet-zelensky-de-facto-head-regime\/\">Lavrov says Russia ready to meet Zelensky in his capacity as &#8216;de facto head of the regime&#8217;<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>&ldquo;France learned of the allegations of the US Ambassador, Mr. Charles Kushner, who, in a letter to the President of the Republic, expressed his concern about the rise in anti-Semitism in France and reported an alleged lack of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/amazon-and-google-targeted-by-regulators-for-failing-to-address-fake-reviews\/\" title=\"Amazon And Google Targeted By Regulators For Failing To Address \u2018Fake Reviews\u2019\">sufficient action<\/a> by the French authorities to confront it,&rdquo; the French Embassy told the <em>Washington Examiner<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;France firmly refutes these allegations.
