Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed recent unrest in France stemmed from an 'invasion of extremist Islam,' saying he had warned French President Macron after October 7 that 'if we don't eliminate them here, you will have them in Paris, and that is exactly what is happening.' The comments came as relative calm returned to France amid targeted curfews and France prepared to deploy troops. The remarks are likely to add friction to Israel's relationship with France, which has repeatedly clashed with Netanyahu's government over the Gaza war.
