"Macron Urges Unity Against Anti-Semitism as Israel Launches Airstrikes: Live Updates"

French President Emmanuel Macron called on the nation to remain united amidst a rise in anti-Semitic acts following the Hamas attack on Israel, which resulted in the deaths of 13 French nationals. Macron pledged to do everything possible to secure the release of the hostages and emphasized the need for security guarantees for Israel and the creation of a Palestinian state as the only way to resolve the crisis. France, home to Europe's largest Jewish and Muslim communities, has seen an increase in anti-Semitic attacks since the attack. Security has been heightened around Jewish sites, and protests related to the conflict are being evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
