President Emmanuel Macron urged French people not to allow the war in the Middle East erupt into tensions at home.
Fighting in the Middle East in the past has led to tensions in France, which is estimated to have the world's third-largest Jewish population after Israel and the US, and the largest Muslim population in Western Europe. Palestinians evacuate wounded people after an Israeli airstrike in Rafah refugee camp in the southern Gaza Strip on Thursday.
Pro-Palestinian associations have decried the move to ban all demonstrations amid concerns around growing antisemitic acts. Other European cities have seen pro-Palestinian demonstrations in recent days as well as pro-Israeli gatherings. Macron also sought to address the concerns of French-Israeli families whose loved ones have disappeared and are believed kidnapped or killed by Hamas.
