France launches probe over video of man seen harassing Jewish boy at Paris airport |
PARIS — France has launched a probe after a video emerged of a man harassing and humiliating a young Jewish child at a Paris airport, demanding that he “free Palestine” and “dance,” a judicial source said Tuesday.
The Paris police chief, Patrice Faure, expressed his “outrage at these unacceptable and intolerable remarks.”
“They will not go unpunished,” he said on X.
He said an investigation was “underway to identify the individual and bring him to justice.”
“We express our support for our Jewish compatriots and assure them of our full commitment to combating antisemitic acts,” Faure said in a post showing an image from the video of the incident.
An investigation into violence committed on the grounds of race, ethnicity, nationality or religion has been launched, the Bobigny public prosecutor’s office told AFP without providing any details of the incident.
On Sunday, The SwordOfSalomon account posted footage of the incident on X which has been viewed more than 440,000 times, claiming that it was filmed at the French capital’s Charles de Gaulle airport on June 25.
