The President was responding to a letter from CRIF expressing satisfaction for the French President’s “firm” convictions and “agreement” between his “actions and the ideals that we adhere to”.
In his letter, the President of CRIF had saluted President Sarkozy’s energy “in condemning the Iranian president’s repeated statements calling for Israel to be wiped off the map” and his “tenacity” in seeking to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
