Video: French police use teargas over pro-Palestinian rallies in Paris

The ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict has sparked a wave of unrest in France, leading to a surge in antisemitic acts and violent protests.

In response, French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin has ordered a ban on all pro-Palestinian demonstrations, a move criticized by some as an attack on civil liberties. The ban follows a series of violent incidents, including the torching of thousands of cars and attacks on banks and shops.

President Emmanuel Macron has called for unity, urging French citizens not to let the Middle East conflict fuel domestic tensions. Despite this, the country's deprived suburbs, home to many immigrants, have become hotbeds of protest.

The government's crackdown on these protests has been met with criticism, with claims that it infringes on the right to peaceful protest.
