France Accuses Russia of Orchestrating Stars of David Graffiti Disinformation Campaign

France has condemned a Russian disinformation campaign that amplified the appearance of Stars of David graffiti on buildings in Paris. The French Foreign Affairs Ministry stated that a Russian network associated with online disinformation campaigns was involved in posting the first photos of the graffiti and circulating them on social media. French authorities have arrested four people suspected of painting the graffiti, which has fueled unrest amid a surge of antisemitic acts in France. The ministry deplored Russia's exploitation of international crises to fuel tensions and create confusion. An investigation is underway to determine if the graffiti was commissioned by a foreign actor.
