pro-Palestinian activists have marched through Paris as part of a series of
demonstrations across the country condemning the surge of violence in the
Middle East.
Saturday's rally was being billed as one of the largest demonstrations ever in
France in support of Palestinians.
Similar pro-Palestinian marches were taking place in the cities of Grenoble,
Pau, Lille, Lyon, Marseille, Nice, Orleans, and Rennes.
The march, organised by pro-Palestinian, anti-racist and Communist groups,
carried off peacefully as protesters headed toward the historic Place de la
Bastille.
On Sunday, Jewish organisations are due to march in Paris, Bordeaux, Marseille,
Lyon, Strasbourg and Toulouse in support of Israel and in protest at a spate of
recent anti-Jewish attacks in France.
