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.

A Franco-Israeli woman raises a placard during a rally on April 25, 2021, in front of the French Embassy in the Israeli coastal city of Tel Aviv, after the killer of a Jewish woman in Paris in 2017, avoided being tried on the grounds he acted in delirium due to drug-taking. The writing on the placard reads: "J'accuse or I accuse, in reference to the title of a 1898 article by French writer Emile Zola regarding the Dreyfus affair. - Sarah Halimi, a 65-year-old Orthodox Jewish woman, died in 2017 after being pushed out of the window of her Paris flat by neighbour Traore, 27, who shouted "Allahu Akbar" ("God is great" in Arabic). Traore, a heavy cannabis smoker, has been in psychiatric care since Halimi's death and he remains there after the ruling. The court said he committed the killing after succumbing to a "delirious fit" and was thus not responsible for his actions. (Photo by JACK GUEZ / AFP) (Photo by JACK GUEZ/AFP via Getty Images)
