A rival “Gaza beach” was set up in Paris as pro-Palestinians protested against a Tel Aviv-themed beach day yesterday.
Around 100 pro-Palestinians chanted “Palestine will live” and wore “boycott Israel” T-shirts as they protested at the Paris Plage urban beach on the banks of the river Seine.
The demonstration followed a week of online outrage at the event called “Tel Aviv sur Seine”.
Hundreds of extra police were called to patrol the one-day Tel Aviv event, which included Israeli music, food and games and attracted around 100 people.
