Israel's ambassador to France, Joshua Zarka, criticized far-left leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon's rhetoric against Jews, comparing it to Hitler's, amid a reported surge in antisemitic incidents in France. The country recorded 1,320 antisemitic acts in 2025, nearly triple the 436 in 2022, with foreign influence from countries like Iran, Russia, Turkey, and Qatar cited as factors.

Scripture: Psalm 83:3-4 (NASB 1977)
"They make shrewd plans against Thy people, And conspire together against Thy treasured ones. They have said, "Come, and let us wipe them out as a nation, That the name of Israel be remembered no more.""
Commentary:
Psalm 83 names the old impulse: plotting against God’s people. When prominent voices in France normalize hostile rhetoric toward Jews, everyday life tightens—people hide a Star of David, change routes, and watch what they say on the train. This isn’t just politics; it matches a biblical pattern of coordinated pressure and foreign-influenced agitation aimed at isolating Jews in the nations. Israel’s leaders speaking plainly about it matters. God still calls Israel His treasured ones.
Prophetic Trend:
As antisemitism is mainstreamed and amplified by foreign influence, social hostility toward Jews hardens into organized pressure that echoes Scripture’s pattern of conspiratorial opposition.
