Jewish Agency Chairman Issac Herzog responded to the recent passage of a bill in the French Parliament acknowledging the connection of Anti-Zionism to Anti-Semitism, saying:
"We, as the representatives of the global Jewish people, applaud and salute the French National Assembly and the President of France, Emmanuel Macron, on their historic decision that is a moral beacon against antisemitism and hatred of Israel. The homeland of Emile Zola who led the fight against antisemitism is standing tall in supporting the right to live a Jewish life without fear, and in unequivocal support of Zionism and the State of Israel."
