Aurore Bergé, France’s Minister for the Fight Against Discrimination, reported nearly 1,500 antisemitic incidents in the country as of November 30, 2024. She highlighted a significant rise in such incidents, with many being direct attacks on individuals based on their perceived Jewish identity. The data shows that 63% of reported cases involve personal attacks. Following a fourfold increase in antisemitic incidents in 2023, Bergé announced a renewed focus on combating these issues in universities, with a new meeting scheduled for February 13 to mark the anniversary of Ilan Halimi’s death.
