in France, the political world shows its full support for the victims

During the signing session of his book in Neuilly (Hauts-de-Seine), Nicolas Sarkozy was one of the first this Saturday morning, October 7, to comment on the Hamas offensive against Israel. “When for decades, incomprehension, sometimes hatred, violence, become encysted, we are never safe from an explosion“, declared the former President of the Republic. On the left as on the right, the large-scale attack went around elected officials. The entire political class showed its support for Israel.

Fear of an extension of tensions

For Jean-Luc Mélenchon, “all the violence unleashed against Israel and Gaza only proves one thing: violence only produces and reproduces itself“. The president of the National Rally, Marine Le Pen, also condemns the attacks and evokes a terrorist act. The leader of the Republicans, Éric Ciotti, emphasizes the need to stand alongside Israel.

Beyond the French deputies, members of the government also reacted in turn, showing their full support for the victims. The Minister of the Interior fears an increase in tensions and a threat to Jewish places of worship. Another reaction, that of the President of the National Assembly, Yaël Braun-Pivet, who calls for restoring the security of civilians as quickly as possible.
