Overview

• Cyril Hanouna, a French TV host of Jewish Tunisian origin, plans to sue La France Insoumise (LFI) over a poster he claims damages his image and uses antisemitic tropes.
• The poster, now deleted, depicted Hanouna in black and white with exaggerated features, drawing comparisons to antisemitic caricatures from the 1930s and 1940s.
• The Ligue Internationale Contre le Racisme et l'Antisémitisme (Licra) and other public figures have condemned the poster as perpetuating harmful stereotypes.
• LFI has replaced the poster and denied the accusations, stating their campaign includes visuals of other media figures they claim amplify far-right ideas.
• French Justice Minister Gérald Darmanin criticized the campaign, likening it to targeting public figures and calling for potential bans on the related protests.
