Terror in Paris und Netanyahus Appell an Frankreichs Juden In der Folge der Terroranschläge gegen Charlie Hebdo und einen koscheren Supermarkt in Paris, rief Israels Ministerpräsident Benyamin Netanyahu während der Solidaritätskundgebung die in Frank­reich lebenden Juden zur Auswanderung nach Isra­el auf.
