As per reports, a pro-Palestine protest march reported in Paris on Wednesday (13 November) night in response to a gala organized by Israel’s far-right. The gala event, held at a confidential location, aimed to raise funds for Israel.

• French authorities declined to cancel the event, stating that it posed no major threat to public order, a decision that further fueled anger among protesters and some left-wing politicians, including Thomas Portes, a France Unbowed MP, who called for the event’s cancellation.
• The gala was held on the eve of a football match between Israel and France, scheduled for Thursday (13 November) evening in Paris. Wednesday’s demonstration was organized by several pro-Palestinian groups and the hard-left France Unbowed Party (LFI).
• Although the protest remained largely peaceful, a few stores, including a McDonald’s and a Carrefour grocery store, were vandalized.
• A total of 4,000 police officers will be deployed for the football match on Thursday (14 November) evening in Paris.
• Another pro-Palestine protest is planned for Thursday (14 November) ahead of the match’s kick-off.
