India, Aug. 19 -- France on Tuesday responded to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's letter to President Emmanuel Macron over the latter's move to recognise a Palestinian state, saying that the country has "no lessons to learn in the fight against antisemitism".

Earlier, Netanyahu had sent a letter to Macron and said that antisemitism had "surged" in France after Macron's decision on Palestine, news agency AFP reported.

"Your call for a Palestinian state pours fuel on this antisemitic fire. It is not diplomacy, it is appeasement. It rewards Hamas terror, hardens Hamas's refusal to free the hostages, emboldens those who menace French Jews and encourages the Jew-hatred now stalking your streets," the Israeli PM's letter read.
