Overview

• The proposed session on the UN General Assembly sidelines will not occur, with reports citing a clash with the High Holidays and broad resistance within major organizations.
• Invitees were expected to include AIPAC, the Anti-Defamation League and the American Jewish Committee, but sources said most groups would have opted out.
• Sources said any discussion would likely have confronted Macron over France’s response to antisemitism and his plan to recognize a Palestinian state this month.
• Separate reporting says Macron explored a pre‑UNGA visit to Israel but was told by the Prime Minister’s Office that the timing was inappropriate.
• Israeli officials are reportedly weighing retaliatory steps, including possible closure of the French consulate in Jerusalem that serves Palestinians, while limited one‑on‑one meetings with U.S. Jewish figures remain possible.
