LE FIGARO : ENQUÊTE - Ils se sentent «trahis» par leur pays et ses responsables politiques. Et regrettent la décision d’Emmanuel Macron, approuvée par 29 % seulement de leurs compatriotes.
Un « sondage », créé à la rentrée sur un groupe WhatsApp d’étudiants de l’université Paris 1, qui demande abruptement : « Les juifs, pour ou contre ? » . Un colloque sur l’histoire des Juifs de France, boycotté, ce week-end, par des chercheurs. La synagogue de Sète vandalisée dans la nuit de mardi à mercredi. Des mains rouges et des étoiles de David taguées par dizaines, cet été, sur des immeubles. Des commerces, des synagogues ou le Mémorial de la Shoah aspergés de peinture verte… C’est dans ce contexte de montée en puissance de l’« antisémitisme d’intimidation » que Paris doit formaliser, le 22 septembre, avec plusieurs autres pays, sa reconnaissance de l’État palestinien. Alors qu’ils célébreront ce jour-là Roch Hachana, le Nouvel An juif, les Français de confession juive ne cachent pas leur désarroi. » | Par Stéphane Kovacs | jeudi 18 septembre 2025

UK Preparing to Recognise Palestinian State as Early as Friday
THE GUARDIAN: Move comes after Israel fails to meet UK conditions that would have postponed step
The UK is preparing to recognise the state of Palestine as early as Friday, after Israel failed to meet conditions that would have postponed the historic step, including a ceasefire in Gaza.
Keir Starmer insisted the timing of the UK announcement had nothing to do with Donald Trump’s visit, even though the US president said at a press conference that he disagreed with Britain’s decision, without elaborating.
Recognition will bring a wave of criticism from Israel, including claims that it is a reward for Hamas and terrorism, a charge the UK rejects by saying it envisages only a Palestinian state in which Hamas is disarmed, plays no part in the future government, and the leadership of the Palestinian Authority is subject to elections within a year.
Starmer emphasised there would be no place for Hamas, insisting the group were terrorists, and adding he agreed with Trump on the need for a roadmap.
The UK prime minister said recognition was “part of that overall package which hopefully takes us from the appalling situation we’re in now to the outcome of a safe and secure Israel, which we do not have, and a viable Palestinian state”. » | Patrick Wintour, Diplomatic editor | Thursday, September 18, 2025

Trump Turns Fire on Putin and Lauds UK in Press Conference with Starmer
THE GUARDIAN: US president also advises PM to use military to stop irregular migration at conclusion of his second state visit
Donald Trump has accused Vladimir Putin of letting him down in a joint press conference with Keir Starmer during which the US president piled criticism on his Russian counterpart.
Trump said on Thursday that he had hoped to broker a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine soon after entering office, but that Putin’s actions had prevented him from doing so.
His comments came during an hour-long press conference alongside Starmer which marked the culmination of a two-day state visit during which the president has largely steered clear of several points of tension between the two leaders.
Trump largely avoided criticising the prime minister over Palestinian statehood or attacking Britain on free speech, though he caused awkwardness when he suggested Starmer could bring in the army to deal with irregular migration.
His comments about the Russian president, however, will delight British officials who had hoped to use the unprecedented second state visit to isolate Putin on the world stage. » | Kiran Stacey and Pippa Crerar | Thursday, September 18, 2025

Warum Trump die New York Times vernichten will
BERLINER ZEITUNG: Die Zeitung berichtet von familiären Verstrickungen der Trump-Familie in libysche Öl-Interessen.
Ein Screenshot aus diesem Artikel. | Das erfährt man von der New York Times: Trumps Schwiegersohn Michael Boulos (zweiter von links) hat kein Regierungsamt inne. Doch wenige Wochen nach seiner Kreuzfahrt auf der Jacht eines internationalen Milliardärs brachte er als Ehrengast bei einem Staatsdinner einen Toast auf Catherine, Prinzessin von Wales, aus.
Donald Trump fährt schweres Geschütz gegen kritische Medien auf. Soeben verkündete der US-Präsident, er habe die New York Times auf 15 Milliarden Dollar verklagt und warf ihr vor, als „Sprachrohr“ der Demokratischen Partei zu agieren. Die Klage, die am späten Montag bei einem US-Bezirksgericht in Florida eingereicht wurde, bezeichnet die Times als „führenden und kompromisslosen Verbreiter von Unwahrheiten gegen Präsident Trump“. Zuvor hatte Trump bereits ABC News und CBS News verklagt. Im Zuge einer Einigung haben sich die Unternehmen verpflichtet, jeweils etwa 15 Millionen Dollar für Trumps geplante Präsidentenbibliothek zu zahlen. Im Juli verklagte Trump das Wall Street Journal auf 10 Milliarden Dollar wegen eines Berichts über eine Geburtstagskarte, die er angeblich an den verstorbenen Pädophilen Jeffrey Epstein geschickt hatte. Dow Jones, zu dem das Wall Street Journal gehört, hat angekündigt, nicht einknicken zu wollen.
Auch die Geschäftsführerin der New York Times, Meredith Kopit Levien, erklärte, die Zeitung werde sich „nicht einschüchtern“ lassen, und warf dem US-Präsidenten auf einer Konferenz der Financial Times „die Schikanierung von Journalisten und die Diskreditierung des unabhängigen Journalismus“ vor. » | Michael Maier | Donnerstag, 18.

'This Is Only Heading One Way': Simon Marks on Kimmel's Suspension
Sep 18, 2025 | Simon Marks joins James O'Brien to discuss the direction that late-night talk shows in America might be heading.
Jimmy Kimmel's late-night talk show has been pulled off the air by ABC after the host made comments about the shooting of right-wing influencer Charlie Kirk.
A spokesperson for the Disney-owned network revealed the show would be "pre-empted indefinitely" following remarks made on a broadcast earlier this week.
America is in the throes of death. The America we all knew and loved is no more, and never ever will be again. The Moron-in-Chief has killed off the country and its concept. — © Mark Alexander

Anti-Austerity Strikes and Protests Grip France
THE NEW YORK TIMES: Barely a week into the job, Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu faces rising social unrest on top of political deadlock and financial turmoil.
Big anti-austerity street marches and labor strikes gripped France on Thursday, raising the pressure faced by Sébastien Lecornu, the country’s new prime minister, as he tries to pass a debt-reducing budget by the end of the year.
Teachers, railway workers, students and civil servants were among the hundreds of thousands taking part in the demonstrations and walkouts across France, which in recent weeks has experienced renewed political turmoil and growing concern over its precarious finances.
Demonstrators marched through the streets of Lyon, Marseille, Nantes, Nice and other cities under the close watch of the riot police. The authorities have blanketed the country with 80,000 security officers to help contain potential violence and vandalism.
The protests were organized by labor unions angered by the plans of François Bayrou, Mr. Lecornu’s predecessor, to cut 44 billion euros, about $51 billion, from next year’s state budget. Mr. Bayrou was ousted by lawmakers last week and President Emmanuel Macron replaced him with Mr. Lecornu, a centrist and an ally.
But the anger over Mr. Bayrou’s cost-cutting has persisted. It was not immediately clear whether Mr. Lecornu, who had promised a “break” with the past, would scrap his predecessor’s plans or use them as a basis for lawmakers to amend.
Labor unions say that anything resembling Mr. Bayrou’s budget — which planned to freeze welfare payments at their current level — would place an unacceptable burden on lower- and middle-class workers while sparing the wealthy. » | Aurelien Breeden | Reporting from Paris | Thursday, September 18, 2025

Macrons to Submit Scientific Evidence to US Court to Prove Brigitte Was Not Born a Man
THE GUARDIAN: French president and wife allege rightwing influencer Candace Owens is using defamatory attacks against them to boost media profile
The French president, Emmanuel Macron, and his wife plan to present scientific evidence to a US court to prove that Brigitte Macron was not born a man, the lawyer representing them in a defamation suit has said.
The couple filed the suit in July against Candace Owens, a rightwing influencer, and her business, alleging continuing defamatory attacks against them in order to boost the profile of her media platform, gain more audience and make money.
Owens said last year she would “stake [her] entire professional reputation on the fact that Brigitte Macron is in fact a man” named Jean-Michel Trogneux, and has since doubled down on the false claim, including in an eight-part podcast series.
The Macrons’ lawyer, Tom Clare, of the law firm Clare Locke, which has won several high-profile defamation cases, told the BBC’s Fame under Fire podcast that Brigitte Macron had found the claims “incredibly upsetting” and they were a “distraction” for the French president. » | Jon Henley, Europe correspondent |Thursday, September 18, 2025
