Serious disagreements have arisen in the "big Seven"

According to the French Interior Ministry, anti-Semitic acts have increased dramatically since the Hamas attacks on Israel on October 7, 2023, and the outbreak of the war in Gaza. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on August 20 that French President Emmanuel Macron's intention to recognize the state of Palestine incites anti-Semitic sentiments, rewards the terror of the Palestinian Hamas movement and toughens the movement's refusal to release hostages.

Macron said on August 26 that Netanyahu had insulted the whole of France by accusing official Paris of inciting anti-Semitism. The French leader also invited the head of the Israeli government "as a friend" to start working together with other international partners to achieve peace.
