French President François Hollande has told Israeli politicians that France "uses all its strength combating antisemitism".
In a speech to the Knesset today, the French leader also expressed concern over Iran’s nuclear programme and reiterated his support for a two-state solution between the Israelis and Palestinians.
Mr Hollande, who is on a visit to Israel, told Knesset members that his country was at the forefront of fighting anti-Jewish hatred.
According to i24news, he said: “France would not be France if it had not been the first country to recognise the Jews as being citizens."
