Leaders from around the world condemned <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/iran" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Iran</a> for its attack against Israel on Saturday after the Islamic nation fired hundreds of drones and missiles at the U.S. ally.
Iran, the world&#8217;s leading state sponsor of terrorism, launched its anticipated attack against Israel, saying it was a response to Israel killing a top Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps commander in Damascus earlier this month. World leaders from Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Joe Biden to U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and the European Union harshly criticized Iran&#8217;s actions. The U.S. and U.K. also <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/u-s-u-k-shoot-down-100-iranian-drones-fired-at-israel-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">scrambled fighter jets</a> to shoot down Iranian suicide drones launched toward Israel.
&#8220;In recent years, and especially in recent weeks, Israel has been preparing for a direct attack by Iran. Our defensive systems are deployed; we are ready for any scenario, both defensively and offensively. The State of Israel is strong. The IDF is strong. The public is strong,&#8221; said Netanyahu. &#8220;We appreciate the U.S. standing alongside Israel, as well as the support of Britain, France and many other countries.&#8221;
&#8220;We have determined a clear principle: Whoever harms us, we will harm them. We will defend ourselves against any threat and will do so level-headedly and with determination,&#8221; Netanyahu added. &#8220;Citizens of Israel, I know that you are also level-headed. I call on you to follow the directives of IDF Home Front Command. Together we will stand and with G-d&#8217;s help – together we will overcome all of our enemies.&#8221;

&#8220;The matter can be deemed concluded,&#8221; Iran&#8217;s Mission to the U.N. added. &#8220;However, should the Israeli regime make another mistake, Iran’s response will be considerably more severe. It is a conflict between Iran and the rogue Israeli regime, from which the U.S. MUST STAY AWAY!&#8221;
Hours after the attack began, Biden promised that America&#8217;s support of Israel &#8220;remains strong.&#8221;
&#8220;I just met with my national security team for an update on Iran’s attacks against Israel,&#8221; the president said. &#8220;Our commitment to Israel’s security against threats from Iran and its proxies is ironclad.&#8221;

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/news/pm-statement-on-iranian-regimes-reckless-attack-against-israel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>, &#8220;I condemn in the strongest terms the Iranian regime’s reckless attack against Israel. These strikes risk inflaming tensions and destabilising the region. Iran has once again demonstrated that it is intent on sowing chaos in its own backyard.&#8221;
&#8220;The UK will continue to stand up for Israel’s security and that of all our regional partners, including Jordan and Iraq,&#8221; Sunak added. &#8220;Alongside our allies, we are urgently working to stabilise the situation and prevent further escalation. No one wants to see more bloodshed.”
French Foreign Minister Stephane Sejourne added, &#8220;France condemns in the strongest terms the attack launched by Iran against Israel. By deciding on such an unprecedented action, Iran is taking a new step in its destabilizing actions and taking the risk of a military escalation.&#8221;
The European Union also condemned Iran&#8217;s attack, calling it &#8220;an unprecedented escalation and a grave threat to regional security.&#8221;

A group of senators in France is calling for a ban on transgender medical services for children.
Led by Senator Jacqueline Eustache-Brinio of the French political party, The Republicans, the group released a <a href="https://www-lefigaro-fr.translate.goog/actualite-france/transidentite-des-mineurs-le-rapport-des-senateurs-lr-qui-sonne-l-alarme-20240318?_x_tr_sl=fr&amp;_x_tr_tl=en&amp;_x_tr_hl=en&amp;_x_tr_pto=wapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> Tuesday sounding the alarm about children receiving puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and gender surgeries which can mean double mastectomies and genital surgery.
The lengthy 340-page report calls medically transitioning minors “one of the greatest ethical scandals in the history of medicine” and accuses transgender activists of pushing medical gender transition on children through aggressive social media campaigns.
France&#8217;s High Authority of Health is expected to make a recommendation on transgender medical services for minors soon, the European Conservative <a href="https://europeanconservative.com/articles/news/french-senators-call-for-ban-on-gender-transition-for-minors/#:~:text=While%20the%20British%20National%20Health,put%20an%20end%20to%20it" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.
However, the French senators see the issue as urgent and said they plan to propose a bill before the summer to ban puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and gender surgeries for minors being treated for &#8220;gender dysphoria.&#8221;
Author J.K Rowling, a vocal critic of gender ideology, reacted to the French report with a quote from a book about the Titanic.
&#8220;And so it went. No bells or sirens. No general alarm. But all over the Titanic, in one way or another, the word was passed,&#8221; she posted Tuesday on X.

Both puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones come with serious health risks. Puberty blockers can <a href="https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/gender-dysphoria/in-depth/pubertal-blockers/art-20459075">affect</a> bone growth and density and cause sexual dysfunction, voice damage, and infertility, among other issues. Cross-sex hormones can <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/transgender-young-people-in-u-s-have-nearly-doubled-recently-report-shows" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cause</a> infertility, deadly blood clots, heart attacks, increased cancer risks of the breasts and ovaries, liver dysfunction, worsening psychological illness, and other serious conditions.

In recent years, critics have sounded the alarm about the permanent effects of these treatments and procedures, especially critics in Europe where gender ideology became influential years before it reached the U.S.
The French senators&#8217; move comes just days after the British National Health Service <a href="https://europeanconservative.com/articles/news/uk-health-service-finally-bans-puberty-blocker-prescriptions-for-children/">announced</a> a ban on puberty blockers for children.
England&#8217;s only youth gender clinic, Tavistock, will shut its doors for good at the end of this month, the National Health Service said.
The clinic, the biggest in the world <a href="https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/health/2024/03/inside-the-collapse-of-the-tavistock-centre" target="_blank" rel="noopener">referred</a> thousands of children for puberty blockers. In its last years, Tavistock began to see an increasing flood of young girls with gender-related distress asking for drugs despite having other mental issues like depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and histories of abuse.
In the U.S., <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/indianas-ban-on-transgender-medical-services-for-minors-can-take-effect-court-rules#" target="_blank" rel="noopener">at least</a> 23 states have already moved to ban medical transgender services for children.

A man wearing a kippah was attacked late last week in France after leaving a synagogue in Paris, French officials said in a statement over the weekend.
The attacker, who authorities are trying to locate, reportedly shouted &#8220;dirty Jew&#8221; during the attack on the 62-year-old man. The victim reportedly lost consciousness after being struck.
&#8220;According to initial information, a new anti-Semitic attack took place in Paris yesterday evening,&#8221; said Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin. &#8220;Everything is being done to find the author of this unspeakable act. Furthermore, on my instructions, since yesterday the prefects have reinforced surveillance of places frequented by our Jewish compatriots who must not be victims of the tragedies taking place in the Middle East.&#8221;
Darmanin ordered that there be a visible increase of law enforcement near areas where Jews are located, specifically focusing on schools and synagogues.
There has been an increase in anti-Semitic attacks worldwide in the days leading up to Ramadan, including a Jewish dentist who was murdered late last weekend in San Diego by an Islamic man and a teenager who pledged allegiance to ISIS and stabbed a Jewish man in Zurich over the weekend.
The significant uptick in global anti-Semitic incidents and terror attacks began with Hamas&#8217; unprecedented terrorist attack on October 7.
As Israel prepares to take Hamas&#8217; last stronghold inside Gaza, the city of Rafah, Israel&#8217;s tensions with Hezbollah on its northern border with Lebanon have increased. Iran, which backs both Hamas and Hezbollah, reportedly gave Hezbollah the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/iran-gives-hezbollah-green-light-to-launch-full-scale-attack-on-israel-report">green light</a> last week to launch a full-scale attack against Israel if Israel takes Rafah.
Iran reportedly gave the order because it believes that once Israel is done eliminating terrorists inside Rafah, it will then attack Hezbollah’s positions in southern Lebanon.

“[Hezbollah Secretary-General] Hassan Nasrallah told [Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards-Quds Force (IRGC-QF) Commander Esmail] Qaani that the attack is likely to be very imminent, most likely in the month of Ramadan, or with Israel’s invasion of the city of Rafah,” an IRGC source told Arabic Post. “Nasrallah said that he is completely certain of [Israel’s] intention to launch a large-scale attack on Lebanon, and he asked Qaani to give him complete freedom in how he intends to attack.”

In the clip, a violin and piano played in the background as the camera panned to photographs of the citizens who were killed in the attack. Loved ones of the victims were also in attendance.
During the ceremony, French President Emmanuel Macron spoke about the attack, calling it the &#8220;biggest antisemitic massacre of our century,&#8221; <a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/macron-hosts-memorial-for-oct-7-the-biggest-antisemitic-massacre-of-our-century/">Times of Israel</a> noted.
He labeled the attack, &#8220;barbarism… which is fed by antisemitism and propagates it.&#8221;
The French president also vowed that France would work &#8220;every day&#8221; for the release of the remaining French hostages and said, &#8220;Their empty chairs are there.&#8221;
&#8220;Nothing can justify or excuse terrorism,&#8221; he added. &#8220;All lives are equal, are invaluable in the eyes of France.&#8221;

White House Press Secretary <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/karine-jean-pierre" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Karine Jean-Pierre</a> snapped at a reporter this week when she was asked about President Joe Biden&#8217;s mental health after he said that he recently talked to a French president who has been dead for nearly three decades.
While delivering remarks in Las Vegas on Sunday, ahead of the Nevada primary this week, Biden hearkened back to a G-7 meeting in the United Kingdom and a gathering of NATO leaders that took place in June of 2021 during which a conversation about the U.S. Capitol breach on January 6 apparently came up.
“I sat down and I said, ‘America’s back’ and Mitterrand from Germany — I mean from France looked at me and said, ‘You know why — how long you back for?'&#8221; Biden recalled, invoking François Mitterrand, the former president of France.
A glaring issue with that recollection is that Mitterrand, who served as president of France from 1981 to 1995, has been dead since 1996. At the time of the G-7 meeting in 2021, Emmanuel Macron was president of France.
A reporter asked Jean-Pierre on Tuesday: &#8220;And how is President Biden ever going to convince the three quarters of voters who are worried about his physical and mental health that he is okay even though in Las Vegas he told a story about recently talking to a French president who died in 1996?&#8221;
&#8220;I&#8217;m not even gonna go down that rabbit hole with you, sir,&#8221; she responded.
&#8220;What is the rabbit hole?&#8221; the reporter fired back. &#8220;He said he talked to [former French President] Mitterrand and&#8211;&#8221;
&#8220;You saw the president in Vegas, in California,&#8221; she responded. &#8220;You&#8217;ve seen the President in South Carolina. You saw him in Michigan. I&#8217;ll just leave it there.&#8221;

President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> is once again going viral for a gaffe in which he claimed to have met with a long-dead leader of France shortly after taking office in the White House as commander in chief.
While delivering <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwZYAJ3sFYo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">remarks</a> in Las Vegas on Sunday, ahead of the Nevada primary this week, Biden <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2024/02/04/remarks-by-president-biden-at-a-campaign-event-las-vegas-nv/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hearkened back</a> to a G-7 meeting in the United Kingdom and a gathering of NATO leaders that took place <a href="https://www.cnn.com/world/live-news/biden-g7-summit-updates-06-13-2021/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in June of 2021</a> in which a conversation about the U.S. Capitol breach on January 6 apparently came up.

A glaring issue with that recollection is that Mitterrand, who served as president of France from <a href="https://www.france24.com/en/europe/20210510-an-extraordinary-politician-fran%C3%A7ois-mitterrand-s-presidential-victory-40-years-on" target="_blank" rel="noopener">1981 to 1995</a>, has been <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1996/01/09/francois-mitterrand-dead-at-age-79/3dae3670-8d49-43ae-9de1-d95e138af6ce/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dead since 1996</a> —roughly 25 years earlier. At the time of the G-7 meeting in 2021, Emmanuel Macron was president of France.
And it&#8217;s not the first time Biden has suggested that he interacted with Mitterrand at the same meeting. Biden <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2022/11/04/remarks-by-president-biden-at-a-democratic-finance-reception/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> a similar version of the story, including the same Mitterrand blunder, in 2022.
In both cases, the White House <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2024/02/04/remarks-by-president-biden-at-a-campaign-event-las-vegas-nv/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">transcripts</a> of Biden&#8217;s remarks showed Mitterrand&#8217;s name crossed out and replaced with Macron.
Biden is well known for making gaffes over the years, but those concerns have risen of late as he seeks a second term in the White House, fueled by the president’s age, his tendency to lose his train of thought while speaking, and moments caught on camera where he has tripped or fallen over. Biden has earned himself negative press with faulty stories he&#8217;s told, including repeating an <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-repeats-exaggerated-house-fire-story-claims-almost-killed-wife" target="_blank" rel="noopener">exaggerated house fire experience</a>.
A national <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/polls-finds-rising-tide-of-voters-worried-biden-lacks-fitness-to-be-president" target="_blank" rel="noopener">poll from NBC News</a> that was published in June of last year found growing anxiety concerning <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Biden</a>&#8216;s fitness to serve, as more than two-thirds of registered voters — 68% — said they have moderate to major concerns about him &#8220;not having the necessary mental and physical health&#8221; to be president.
Nikki Haley, who is 52 and running for the GOP presidential nomination, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/haley-questions-trumps-mental-fitness" target="_blank" rel="noopener">began</a> her campaign last February by pushing for mandatory mental competency tests for politicians over 75 years old.

Horan recently <a href="https://theathletic.com/5242921/2024/02/01/lindsey-horan-uswnt-world-cup/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> The Athletic that American soccer fans are &#8220;not smart&#8221; and don&#8217;t understand the game the way other countries do, such as the fans in France.
“American soccer fans, most of them aren’t smart,” she told the outlet. “They don’t know the game. They don’t understand.&#8221;
“I’m gonna piss off some people,” Horan continued, adding that &#8220;people are more and more knowledgeable, but so much of the time people take what the commentators say, right? My mom does it! My mom says, ‘Julie Foudy said you had such a good game!’ And I’m here, just going, ‘I was f***ing s*** today.’”
Foudy is not just a commentator, but a retired women&#8217;s soccer star with two FIFA Women&#8217;s World Cup championships and two Olympic golds under her belt.
Horan added that playing in France is different, because fans there &#8220;know football,&#8221; seemingly unlike the U.S.
“From what I’ve heard, people understand my game a little bit more, a sense of my football and the way I play,” she said. “It is the French culture. Everyone watches football. People know football.”
Lalas was not impressed with Horan&#8217;s take, and mocked her approach as a &#8220;bold strategy&#8221; during a trying time for the women&#8217;s team.
&#8220;So, not satisfied with already turning off many Americans who don’t watch soccer, evidently the #USWNT has now set their sights on turning off many Americans who do watch soccer. Bold strategy,&#8221; he posted, as <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/sports/former-us-soccer-star-rips-womens-captain-saying-most-american-fans-arent-smart" target="_blank" rel="noopener">highlighted</a> by Fox News.

&#8220;I actually think American soccer fans are arguably some of the most educated, interesting, and well-rounded in the game,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;In a country where soccer isn&#8217;t king, American soccer fans have often had to seek and discover the game, domestically and internationally. This proactive approach, out of necessity, has given American soccer fans a unique appreciation and view of the game. It&#8217;s not provincial, it&#8217;s worldly.&#8221;

&#8220;American soccer fans are forced to see the game relative to the world, not simply the country,&#8221; Lalas said. &#8220;This means American soccer fans are often more educated about that world than others. Also, because of America&#8217;s unique culture, American soccer fans are exposed to a much wider spectrum of soccer styles, leagues, players, ideas etc. than other countries. This has produced a soccer palette for American soccer fans that is much more diverse than many soccer-centric countries and cultures.&#8221;

During her interview with The Athletic, Horan also acknowledged why the U.S. team has been criticized for their outside focus, which has included far-Left activism.
“If you’re not backing it up on the field, people are gonna come and talk s*** about what you’re doing, where your priorities are,” the captain said. “Like, ‘Are you getting ready for the game? Are you caring more about this s***?’”

Rapper Snoop Dogg has been added as a reporter to NBC&#8217;s Olympic coverage of the 2024 Summer Games in Paris.
The 52-year-old, born Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr., will join NBC Sports broadcaster Mike Tirico to provide regular reports during primetime coverage, <a href="https://variety.com/2023/tv/news/nbc-snoop-dogg-2024-paris-olympics-primetime-1235858972/">Variety</a> reported.
&#8220;I grew up watching the Olympics and am thrilled to see the incredible athletes bring their A-game to Paris. It&#8217;s a celebration of skill, dedication, and the pursuit of greatness,&#8221; he said in a statement. &#8220;We&#8217;re going to have some amazing competitions and, of course, I will be bringing that Snoop style to the mix. It&#8217;s going to be the most epic Olympics ever, so stay tuned, and keep it locked.&#8221;

Snoop will appear on the broadcast network and the Peacock streaming site providing reports.
The move to add the rapper to the broadcasts comes after the &#8220;Gin and Juice&#8221; hitmaker teamed with comedian Kevin Hart to give commentary for the 2020 Tokyo Games, <a href="https://www.si.com/olympics/2024/01/01/nbc-add-snoop-dogg-reporter-for-paris-olympics-coverage">Sports Illustrated</a> noted.
Molly Solomon, executive producer and president of NBC Olympics Production, told Variety that Snoop&#8217;s past coverage generated &#8220;tens of millions of views.&#8221;
&#8220;That performance alone has earned Snoop a job as our Special Correspondent in Paris,&#8221; she added. &#8220;We don&#8217;t know what the heck is going to happen every day, but we know he will add his unique perspective to our re-imagined Olympic primetime show.&#8221;
The opening ceremony for the Paris Olympics is currently scheduled for July 26.

Several Muslim men were arrested in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/france" target="_blank" rel="noopener">France</a> late this week after law enforcement officials, who had been investigating the men for criminal terrorist associations, discovered that they were scouting out a Christmas market.
Five men between the ages of 20 and 23 were arrested on Friday in Meurthe-et-Mosell following the terrorism investigation by French intelligence services, who were surveilling the men, according to <a href="https://www.leparisien.fr/faits-divers/meurthe-et-moselle-cinq-personnes-interpellees-dans-une-operation-antiterroriste-22-12-2023-PXR6KRIZBZEGHBH7VFZSQGRPFY.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Le Parisien</a>.
The suspected Islamic terrorists carried out reconnaissance on Strasbourg Christmas market, officials said. Police said that the arrests came after &#8220;worrying elements&#8221; were discovered. During a raid connected to the investigation, officials discovered a video filmed at the market where one of the suspects reportedly said, “And there, we shoot.&#8221;
Law enforcement told French media that the men belonged to the Salafist movement, a sect of Sunni Islam that numerous Islamic terrorist groups subscribe to, including Al-Qaeda, ISIS, Boko Haram, and Al-Shabaab.
Minister of the Interior Gérald Darmanin called on the country to “maintain extreme vigilance” during the Christmas season due to the “very high level of terrorist threat” posed by Islamic terrorists in the country as France has the largest Muslim population in all of Europe.
Last week, seven people were arrested in Germany, Denmark, and the Netherlands for allegedly planning terror attacks against Jews.
German Justice Minister Marco Buschmann <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/multiple-hamas-terrorists-arrested-in-europe-for-planning-terror-attacks-reports" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a statement that German law enforcement “in cooperation with Dutch authorities, (on Thursday) arrested four members of Hamas who were planning attacks on Jewish institutions in Europe.”
“Abdelhamid Al A., Mohamed B., Ibrahim El-R. and Nazih R. have been longstanding members of HAMAS and have participated in HAMAS operations abroad,” prosecutors <a href="https://www.generalbundesanwalt.de/SharedDocs/Pressemitteilungen/EN/aktuelle/Pressemitteilung-vom-14-12-2023-Nr-57-Englisch.html?nn=677796" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a statement. “They are closely linked to the military branch’s leadership.”
<a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-9096" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://onelink.to/dwapp&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1700760801843000&amp;usg=AOvVaw2PQrVSrJfhxNb4LcARqniG">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP</a>
Three of the suspects were arrested in Germany, while another was arrested in the Netherlands. Three additional suspects were arrested in Denmark on terrorism-related charges, but it was not clear if they were connected to the other four suspects.
“On behalf of HAMAS, Abdelhamid Al A. started searching for an underground weapons cache in Europe no later than spring 2023, which the organisation had created in the past in a conspiratorial manner,” prosecutors said. “He received his orders from HAMAS leaders in Lebanon. The weapons were due to be taken to Berlin and kept in a state of readiness in view of potential terrorist attacks against Jewish institutions in Europe. In October 2023, Abdelhamid Al A., Mohamed B. and Nazih R. travelled repeatedly from Berlin to look for the weapons, with Ibrahim El-R. providing assistance.”

5 Suspected Islamic Terrorists Arrested In France After Planning Attack On Christmas Market: Report

The widow of a French serial killer who was previously convicted of helping her husband kidnap and murder virgins has been charged in her alleged role in three additional murders.
Monique Olivier, wife of serial killer Michel Fourniret, will face trial over charges of aiding and abetting the kidnapping and murder of three young women decades ago, CBS News <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/monique-olivier-widow-of-serial-killer-michel-fourniret-faces-trial-over-cold-cases/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. Her husband had been charged with abduction, rape, and murder in the three cases but died in 2021 before he could stand trial.
The oldest of the charges relates to the 1988 disappearance of Marie-Angele Domece, who was just 18 when she vanished from Auxerre, France. Her body was never found. Olivier is also charged in the 1990 murder of Joanna Parrish, a 20-year-old British woman whose naked body was found in the Yonne River in France.
Finally, Olivier is charged with complicity in the 2003 disappearance of Estelle Mouzin, 9, whose body has never been found.
Olivier and Fourniret were previously found guilty in 2008 in relation to numerous murders, the Associated Press <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/virgin-serial-killer-and-wife-convicted/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> at the time. Fourniret, then 66, was sentenced to life in prison for murdering seven women, most of whom were raped. The women, who were between the ages of 12 and 21, were strangled, shot, or stabbed with a screwdriver during Fourniret’s serial killings that occurred between 1987 and 2001. He reportedly targeted the women because they were virgins.
In addition to the murder convictions, Fourniret was also convicted of raping or attempting to rape all the victims.
For her part, Olivier was convicted of complicity for four of the murders and also sentenced to life in prison, but could be considered for early release after serving 28 years. Prosecutors alleged that Olivier helped her husband find virgins to feed his sexual fantasies.
Fourniret was detained by Belgian police in June 2003 after a failed kidnapping attempt of a 13-year-old girl. The girl was able to give police the license plate number of the man who kidnapped her after she was able to free herself from bindings and escape out of the back of Fourniret’s van.

Fourniret died in 2021 at the age of 79, never facing trial for the three additional victims, even though he asked in 2008 to be tried for those murders, CBS reported.
Eric Mouzin, whose 9-year-old daughter Estelle was one of Fourniret’s victims, said only trying Olivier was &#8220;somewhat short of the mark,&#8221; according to CBS. &#8220;It will be difficult to pass judgment with only a single defendant,&#8221; he added.
Olivier’s attorney, Richard Delgenes, said that the court should “not expect any revelations” about her part in the crimes but that her participation level sets her apart from her husband.
&#8220;Unlike him, she takes no special pleasure in the pain of his victims or of the families,&#8221; he said, according to CBS.

A Jewish woman was rushed to the hospital on Saturday in the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/france" target="_blank" rel="noopener">French</a> city of Lyon after a man came to her home, stabbed her, and painted a swastika on her door.
A man &#8220;dressed in dark clothing and with a concealed face&#8221; knocked on the woman&#8217;s door around 1 p.m. local time and proceeded to stab her multiple times in the abdomen when she answered, according to a <a href="https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/antisemitism/article-771729" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> from The Jerusalem Post.
She was rushed to the emergency room with what were described as &#8220;serious&#8221; injuries.
The woman, in her thirties, had a mezuzah at her doorway, which is a doorpost that is typically fixed at the entrance of Jewish people&#8217;s homes that reminds them of their covenant with God.
A swastika was found graffitied on the woman&#8217;s door after the attack, leading the public prosecutor’s office to view the attack as being potentially motivated by anti-Semitism.
Lyon Mayor Gregory Doucet posted on X, &#8220;Such an act of violence is unthinkable. I offer all my support to the victim and her relatives.&#8221;
&#8220;Antisemitism is currently inflicting brutality not just in Israel, but regrettably across the entire Jewish world,&#8221; said Yaakov Hagoel, Chairman of the World Zionist Organization. &#8220;The Jewish people have endured persecutions, pogroms, and the Holocaust. We have come out of these attempts to annihilate us only stronger. Even in these times, we will continue to unite in our strength and demonstrate to the world that we cannot be broken. The nation of Israel lives on, strong and united.&#8221;
Anti-Semitic attacks have exploded worldwide after an unprecedented Islamic terrorist attack was carried out against Israel last month when more than 3,000 Hamas terrorists stormed into the country and murdered 1,400 Israelis, wounded 5,300, and kidnapped more than 240.

Late last week, two Moldovan nationals who were illegally in France were arrested in Paris after they painted Stars of David on homes of Jewish people. They <a href="https://www.politico.eu/article/russian-behind-daubing-stars-of-david-france-moldova-couple-report/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">admitted</a> to authorities that they were acting on the orders of someone from inside Russia, who French officials have not named. Authorities immediately expelled both individuals from the country.

Authorities said they are investigating yet another instance of blatant public anti-Semitism in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/france" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Paris</a> after a video taken by a metro passenger went viral showing a group of people chanting hateful slogans directed at Jews.
The video posted to X on Tuesday shows a young woman recording while a group of people shout in French, “F*** the Jews and f*** your mother … long live Palestine!” <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/11/02/news/proud-nazis-chant-f-k-the-jews-on-paris-metro/">according</a> to the New York Post. The group of people, which appears to be made up of young adults, also chanted, “We are Nazis and proud!”

France has seen a dramatic spike in anti-Semitism since Hamas’ brutal attack on Israel on October 7. According to Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin, there have been 857 reports of anti-Semitic acts in France since Hamas started the war against Israel, which was nearly double the number reported for all of 2022, the Post reported.
Earlier this week, Jewish homes in Paris were targeted by anti-Semites who spray-painted the Star of David on the outside walls of the houses — copying a method used by Nazi Germany in the 1930s to single out Jews. The Union of Jewish Students of France posted photos of the homes that were marked and called for those responsible to be found and punished.
“Some want to terrorize French Jews by using the methods of the 1930s,” the Jewish Student Union posted on X. “They must be quickly found and severely punished.”

In the southwestern city of Carcassonne, someone spray-painted the message, “Killing Jews is a duty” on a stadium.
