I take a wait and see attitude. A goy is a goy is a goy.
France has always been notorious for their anti-semetic views. Many times a diplomat will “claim” his “support” for Israel and not follow-up, case in point, Victor Yuschencko in Ukraine. Opportunistic for the moment only. There will be no change in France’s attitude towards Israel at all.
