"Macron Condemns Hamas Attack as 'Biggest Antisemitic Massacre' in Memorial Tribute"

French President Emmanuel Macron called the October attacks by Hamas on Israel the "biggest antisemitic massacre of our century" and led a ceremony in Paris to pay tribute to the French victims. Macron condemned the attacks as "barbarism" fueled by antisemitism and emphasized the need to fight against hatred. The ceremony honored the French citizens killed in the attacks and those still missing, believed to be held hostage, and also recognized the victims of Israeli bombardments in Gaza. The event was attended by controversy as some families objected to the presence of politicians from a leftwing party accused of not denouncing the Hamas attacks sufficiently.
