Likud MK Danny Danon, who chairs the Knesset Immigration, Absorption and Diaspora Affairs Committee, is calling for a special urgent session during the summer recess following the attack against a French kosher supermarket last week.

Danon hopes to discuss a number of items during the special session, including an assessment of the threat level resulting from the YouTube film perceived as anti-Islam, and the threat level to Jews living in the Diaspora in general.

Danon released a statement that he feels the State of Israel must concern itself with the safety of Jews around the world and the current situation demands making decisions as how to react and just what the current threat level is to Jews in different countries.
