Protestors face French Gendarmes as they gather at Place de la Republique for an unauthorized demonstration in support of Palestinians in Paris, on October 12, 2023. France on October 12, 2023 said it was banning all pro-Palestinian demonstrations after the attack on Israel by Hamas, on the grounds such protests threaten to public order. Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said that the demonstrations "are likely to generate disturbances to public order" adding that organisers should face arrest. Fighting between Israel and Hamas has entered a sixth day following the assault on Israel by the Palestinian militant group on October 7, which has claimed thousands of lives on both sides.
