French President Has No Doubt Russia Will Target Paris Olympics

French President Emmanuel Macron said on April 4 that he has no doubt Russia will malevolently target the Paris Olympics this summer. "I have no doubt whatsoever, including in terms of information," Macron said in response to a question about whether he thought that Russia would try to target the Olympics. Macron's comments represent his most explicit acknowledgment to date of foreign threats to the security or smooth running of the games. The games will take place amid a complex global backdrop, including Russia's war in Ukraine and Israel's conflict with Hamas, which has been designated a terrorist organization by the United States and the European Union.
