Political Divisions Overshadow Macron's Absence at Anti-Semitism March

French President Emmanuel Macron will not physically attend a march against anti-Semitism but will participate in his "thoughts," as tensions rise in France following a surge in anti-Semitic incidents. Far-right leader Marine Le Pen's plan to attend the rally has sparked political bickering, with critics accusing her party of failing to distance itself from its anti-Semitic heritage. The hard-left France Unbowed party has announced a boycott of the event, while the government spokesman confirmed that Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne would attend. France has recorded a significant increase in anti-Semitic acts since the recent conflict between Israel and Hamas.
