Avraham Burg, the chairman of the Jewish Agency for Israel, attacked France’s Jewish leadership for what he said was its failure to seek compensation for Jews whose property was plundered during World War II. The president of France’s umbrella group for secular Jewish organizations, Henri Hajdenberg, reacted angrily to Burg’s statements, calling them “a type of provocation” and “inadmissible interference.”
