France imposed a ban on pro-Palestinian demonstrations after a former Hamas leader called for a “day of rage” on Friday, Oct. 13. Police used tear gas and water cannons on crowds in Paris.
People wave flags of different Arab countries on a statue at the Place de la République in Paris on Thursday. French Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin imposed a ban on pro-Palestinian demonstrations Thursday, after the former leader of Hamas urged Muslims worldwide to stage protests in support of Palestinians in a “day of rage,” the militant group’s standard call for demonstrations. The order, reported by Agence France-Presse, says such rallies would probably disrupt public order.
“Neither suspicions nor divisions must exist between us as a nation,” Macron said in a televised address, adding that antisemitism “has always been the prelude to other forms of hatred.” He called for the country to “condemn terrorism” and defend the country’s values. French police fired water cannon and tear gas Oct. 12 to break up a rally in support of Palestinians in Paris, shortly after the government banned such rallies.
The ban, issued in an order to police prefects throughout France, comes as Khaled Meshal, the former leader of Hamas, urged Muslims worldwide to stage demonstrations in support of Palestinians on Friday. He also urged people living in countries bordering Israel to join the fighting against Israel, in a recorded statementby Reuters this week." head to the squares and streets of the Arab and Islamic world on Friday,” he said.
