On October 7, 2024, Israel commemorates the Hamas attacks against its territory. Numerous ceremonies are planned throughout the country to mark the first anniversary of this offensive which cost the lives of 1,205 people.
Since the tragedy, Arthur has been the target of death threats because of his Jewish faith. The TF1 host, who lives under police protection with his family, was the guest of Face to face from BFMTV and RMC this Monday October 7. Faced with Apolline de Malherbe, the husband of Mareva Galanter confessed that October 7, 2023 had been “the worst day of his life”.
“I am the only Jew on TF1…” : Arthur confides in his terrible daily life since the October 7 attacks against Israel
The one who had a dispute “very boring” with a famous artist explained how his life has changed since Hamas’s attacks on Israel. “I still work just as much. I’m still an animator-producer, but let’s say that I lost a little of my activity. I am accompanied and protected 24 hours a day. If at one time I could go down for a coffee like that without telling my friends, now it’s a whole organization…”he regretted.
The host, who launched his new game 10 out of 10: how much do you spend? on Friday October 4 in the first part of the evening on TF1, said he goes to the police station once a week. “I’m going to leave a USB key there with all the threats I receive and all the insults. While I’m talking to you, I invite you to check on your X account (formerly Twitter, editor’s note) the number of messages you will receive about me…”he confided to Apolline de Malherbe.
I lost people for whom I had a lot of affection…
“You know, I am the only Jew on TF1… Millions of people have been watching me for thirty years, so unfortunately mathematically, there is a small part of them who hate me”he added. The host then asked him if he had lost any friends since the tragic October 7, 2023. “A few days later, my phone stopped ringing. I lost people for whom I had a lot of affection and I met wonderful people. Humanism cannot be invented and people I considered as friends have sorely missed it…”Arthur replied sadly.
