Former French Prime Minister Joins Combat Antisemitism Movement to Tackle Rising Antisemitism in Europe
Former French Prime Minister Manuel Valls has joined the Combat Antisemitism Movement's newly-founded Advisory Board for Europe. This board aims to provide a platform for influential European leaders to address the increasing antisemitism across the continent. Valls, who served as France's Prime Minister from 2014 to 2016, has been a vocal advocate against antisemitism, emphasizing its threat to democratic values and social cohesion. The board's establishment comes at a time when antisemitic incidents in Europe have risen significantly, with nearly a 50% increase in 2025. The board will focus on strategic guidance, policy advocacy, and public engagement to combat antisemitism.
