Religious leaders visit Grand Mosque of Paris

President Emmanuel Macron on Monday hosted religious leaders for talks on combatting anti-Semitism in France, a day after a Paris march rallied tens of thousands to express anxiety over an upsurge in acts against Jews.

There have been growing tensions in France, home to large Muslim and Jewish communities, as war rages in the Gaza Strip between Palestinian militant group Hamas and Israel.Macron had urged the religious leaders to make an "educational effort to increase the number of measures addressed to young people," Catholic bishops' conference head told reporters after the meeting.
