The Zioneer Intelligence Desk called for the immediate closure of the French consulate in West Jerusalem, arguing that it serves the 'state of Palestine' and maintains an ambassador accredited to Palestine. The post proposes converting the building into a museum of French antisemitism. The Zioneer had previously called for the closure of the British consulate in Jerusalem.
The Zioneer Intelligence Desk published a statement this morning calling for the closure of the French consulate in West Jerusalem. The post argues that the consulate serves the Palestinian Authority's 'state of Palestine' and that its head is an ambassador accredited to Ramallah, not to Israel. It suggests converting the building into a museum documenting French antisemitism throughout history. Relations between Israel and several European nations have been strained due to legal probes against the IDF and moves toward Palestinian statehood recognition. The Zioneer has separately called for the closure of the British consulate in Jerusalem last week. No official French response to the latest call has been reported.
