In a speech at the 19th century Invalides monument Wednesday, Macron said Knoll's attacker "murdered an innocent and vulnerable woman because she was Jewish, and in doing so profaned our sacred values and our history".

Le Pen tweeted Wednesday that the CRIF can't stop her from attending.

"She didn't believe in evil in people, maybe she was a little naive", she said.
