The Palestinian Authority has arrested a key suspect in a deadly antisemitic terror attack on a Jewish restaurant in Paris in 1982, French President Emmanuel Macron announced Friday. The Palestinian suspect, Hicham Harb, 70, was arrested in the West Bank for allegedly orchestrating the Aug. 9, 1982, terror attack on Chez Jo Goldenberg in which militants threw a grenade into the crowded restaurant and fired machine guns at diners and pedestrians. Six people were killed and 22 were injured in the terror attack, making it the deadliest antisemitic attack in France since World War II and scarring the French capital’s Jewish community. France has achieved the international isolation of Hamas,” wrote French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot in a post on X. “For the first time today, the United Nations adopted a document that condemns it for its crimes, calling for its surrender and disarmament.”
