French, German officials opt out of Israeli event over European far-right's presence

French philosopher Bernard-Henri Levy and two German officials have canceled their participation in an Israeli government-organized conference on antisemitism after learning that far-right European figures were invited. The conference is being organized by Diaspora Minister Amichai Chikli, who has worked to strengthen Israel's relationship with Europe's far-right parties. Levy and the German officials expressed concerns about associating with extreme right-wing forces and the negative impact it would have on the fight against antisemitism. This is the first official Israeli government event to which members of Europe's radical right have been invited.
