Thousands join pro-Palestine protests in France
Thousands of demonstrators protested across France on Saturday in support of Palestinians and calling for peace in Gaza.
French trade unions, left-wing parties and pro-Palestinian activist groups called for a global weekend of protests against Israel's war on the territory.
They issued their rallying call before Israel on Friday launched a massive wave of strikes on Iran, raising fears of a prolonged conflict that experts say could engulf the region.
In Paris, where the largest march took place, police counted 9,000 demonstrators, while the CGT trade union and hard-left party France Unbowed (LFI) said 150,000 attended the gathering.
