Caroline Yadan (55), a Jewish lawyer and Paris resident, is the new French parliament representative for District 8. "I am pleased with the election results," she said. "Throughout the campaign, I emphasized my future plans, which include genuine concern for France and its citizens, and I am glad they trusted me and chose me as their representative."

This marks her second term as a parliament member, having previously represented the 17th and 18th districts in Paris in the National Assembly.

Yadan, from President Emmanuel Macron's Renaissance Party, defeated former parliament member Meyer Habib in a district made up of French citizens residing abroad, including in Israel, Cyprus, Greece, Turkey, and Italy.

During her campaign, Yadan emphasized her commitment to combating anti-Semitism and her strong support for Israel: "I have always fought anti-Semitism, but since October 7 and the rise in anti-Semitism, I am very focused on the fight to eradicate anti-Semitism, and this is one of my main goals as a parliament member. For me, it's also a personal matter, and it's important to me to reduce the flames of hatred burning in certain parts of French society. I also do everything to show the French people the positive aspects of Israel and present the country in a positive light."

Satire, Israel-Gaza War

MUST WATCH: L.E. Staiman is the Jewish satirist we never knew we needed

L.E. Staiman entertains by blending humor with sharp, satirical commentary, often using absurdity to highlight real issues. His character Lyle Culpepper is a hilariously exaggerated persona of an "anti-Semitic lefty," poking fun at extreme views while exposing their flaws. Through Lyle’s antics, Staiman not only makes us laugh but also pushes us to think critically about antisemitism and misinformation.
