To Ariel Kandel, the CEO of an association that facilitates immigration to Israel by Jews, or aliyah, from France, the first round was “another step” toward a wave of aliyah by thousands, he told The Times of Israel.

Antisemitic incidents have skyrocketed in France since October 7, when Hamas terrorists murdered 1,200 Israelis and abducted 251. Some 38,000 Palestinians have died as a result of the ongoing military campaign that Israel launched to dismantle Hamas and retrieve hostages, according to unverifiable figures from the Hamas-run Health Ministry that do not distinguish between combatants and civilians. Amid the growing death toll, mass protests against Israel are held regularly in France and beyond and are widely believed to be inspiring attacks on Jews there.

About 50,000 French Jews have made aliyah over the past decade, more than double the tally of the previous one. But France has a robust welfare system and offers a relatively high quality of life that is helping to keep at home another 50,000 who are considering leaving as the political climate darkens around them, Kandel said.

Macron’s implicit endorsement of ‘antisemitic,’ ‘pro-Hamas’ far left shocks French Jews
Defeats for French president’s party in the first round of the parliamentary elections prompt a controversial alliance against the far right – and, potentially, Jewish emigration

Only two years ago French President Emmanuel Macron received the unreserved endorsement of major Jewish community groups, which regarded his centrist policies and party as the best available bulwark against political radicalism.

But now, many French Jews feel betrayed by Macron, who last week announced snap parliamentary elections that backfired and boosted the far right. And then following his party’s trouncing in the first stage of the elections on Sunday, he proceeded to implicitly endorse a party with a far-left antisemitism problem to counteract the nationalists’ ascent.

Macron, who will remain president regardless of the parliamentary electoral results, “just endorsed a party controlled by pro-Hamas” forces, Yohann Taieb, a French-Jewish journalist, wrote on X on Monday. The Jewish groups that endorsed him were “being taken for a ride,” Taieb added.

This sentiment, shared by many French Jews, stems from a series of unusual choices by Macron throughout one of the most tumultuous political episodes in France’s recent history.

It began with the European Parliament elections of June 9, in which the far-right National Rally party of Marine Le Pen and Jordan Bardella won the largest share of the vote (32%). In a move that stunned the nation, Macron declared an early election to the French parliament to curb the far right’s ascent by uniting its rivals behind his centrist Renaissance party.

This tactic is failing spectacularly in the local parliamentary elections, whose first round was held Sunday and whose second and final one is scheduled for July 7. Not only did the far right secure a whopping 34% in Sunday’s snap elections, but Macron’s party also lost its claim to be the main alternative to the far right.

That distinction went to the New Popular Front, a coalition that was hastily established for the elections through a union between the center-left Socialist Party and the far-left France Unbowed party, or LFI, of Jean-Luc Melenchon, a communist who many French Jews claim is an antisemite. The New Popular Front received 28% of the vote in the parliamentary elections, leaving Macron’s party in distant third place with only 20%.
