In the French capital of Paris, tens of thousands of people demonstrated, carrying banners reading “Help Gaza,” “Stop genocide,” “Israel is apartheid, boycott,” and “Free Palestine.”

The demonstration came at the invitation of the “Palestine Emergency” coalition and the support of Jean-Luc Mélenchon's party La France Insoumise. Melechon participated in the demonstration as well as MP of the European Parliament Manon Aubry and the French-Palestinian activist Rima Hassan.
