During an interview at the Miss France ceremony, April Benayoum noted that her father was Israeli.
French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said the national police ‘’were mobilized’’ to find the people behind antisemitic tweets that targeted Miss Provence April Benayoum who competed among finalists Saturday night for the Miss France 2021 beauty pageant.
The minister said he was “deeply shocked.”
During an interview at the Miss France contest ceremony, April Benayoun noted that her father was Israeli. Benayoum found himself the object of a wave of anti-Semitic and anti-Zionist slurs on Twitter.
Production company Endemol and TF1 tv channel, which broadcast the event, offered harsh words for the tweets, saying they “condemn the hateful and anti-Semitic comments made last night on social media” that attacked Benayoum.
