Hollande’s pledge to French Jews
French President François Hollande pledged yesterday to increase security around synagogues and introduce tougher anti-terrorism measures, a day after a series of police raids dismantled a radical Islamist network that targeted Jews.
Seeking to calm the fears of France’s Jewish community, the largest in Europe, Mr Hollande invited seven leaders of Jewish groups to the presidential palace where he promised support to fight a rash of anti-Semitic attacks.
“I have reaffirmed that the state will not compromise in fighting racism and anti-Semitism,” he said.
