French Prime Minister Manuel Valls condemned "all campaigns" to boycott Israeli products.

"I tell you here clearly: we condemn all campaigns of boycott against Israeli products," he told the French parliament in response to a question from MP Meyer Habib on the anti-Israeli campaigns by BDS (Boycott- Divestment-Sanctions) which said are supported by some members of the majority including Socialists MPs.

"The boycott creates a climate of hatred in France. Have we forgotten that in January it was a kosher supermarket that was targeted. It stigmatizes before killing," said Habib, who represents French citizens living abroad including in Israel.

The French Supreme Court upheld a judgment in October condemning BDS activists who had called for a boycott of Israeli products. Habib lamented in his question that calls for a boycott persist in France.

"There is no sense in these campaigns and therefore the French government from this point of view is very clear," said the Prime Minister in his response, assuring that his government would take "all necessary measures to condemn these campaigns."

For Valls, "there are too often in a number of initiatives behind legitimate criticism of the policy of the State of Israel anti-Zionism that switches to anti-Semitism.’’

'Israel is a democracy and fight against terrorism,’’ the Prime Minister said, recalling however France’s position on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict: condemnation of colonization, imperative need for dialogue, two states living side by side with recognized borders.

He somewhat evaded Habib’s question regarding the EU labeling of Israeli products from Judea and Samaria (the West Bank), a measure adopted by the European Commission and decried as ‘’discriminatory and political '' Israel. ''This is a measure taken by the European Union, '' Valls said without commenting it.

In retaliation for the European measure, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the suspension of diplomatic contacts with the institutions and representatives of the European Union on the peace process with the Palestinians.
