More than 180,000 people across France, including 100,000 in Paris, have marched peacefully to protest against rising antisemitism in the wake of Israel’s ongoing war against Hamas in Gaza.

Two hospitals in northern Gaza have closed to new patients, with staff saying Israeli bombardment and a lack of fuel and medicine mean those already being treated may die. Meanwhile some are looking towards a possible future for Gaza.

PARIS -- Tens of thousands of people marched in Paris on Sunday to protest against rising antisemitism in the wake of Israel's ongoing war against Hamas in Gaza. Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne, representatives of several parties on the left, as well as far-right leader Marine Le Pen, attended Sunday's march in the French capital amid tight security. President Emmanuel Macron did not attend but expressed his support for the protest and called on citizens to rise up against "the unbearable resurgence of unbridled antisemitism."

Amid a large increase in anti-Jewish acts since the onset of the Israel-Hamas war, at least 182,000 French citizens nationwide marched on the streets to denounce antisemitism. The demonstrations also attracted a number of French politicians.
