New demonstrations in support of the Palestinian people are taking place today in several cities in France in reaction to the Israeli strike which left several dozen dead in Rafah in the Gaza Strip.
Third consecutive mobilization since Monday. A new demonstration in support of the Palestinian people is being held this Wednesday, May 29 in Paris at Place Saint-Augustin in the 8th arrondissement of the capital.
The choice of location is the same as during the rally held on Monday, about a kilometer from the Israeli embassy, accused of having launched a strike which left several dozen dead last weekend in Rafah in the Gaza Strip.
According to our journalist present on site, the mobilization is less than in recent days, with at least 1,000 demonstrators chanting slogans like “Free Palestine” or “We are all children of Gaza”. They dispersed around 10:30 p.m. after being prevented from accessing the main roads of the capital by the police. No overflow was reported during the evening.
Other rallies took place in other cities such as Lille where some 300 people denounced the Israeli bombings on Rafah. In Marseille, as in Lyon and Nantes, the mayors announced that the lights in their town halls would be turned off from 10 p.m., “in memory of the civilian victims of Gaza”.
