As the Minister pointed out on Twitter, similar demonstrations in 2014 have caused huge disturbances to public order.
–
Seven years ago, there were large-scale demonstrations against the Israeli military offensive in the Gaza Strip. Trouble broke out at the time, but vandals attacked the synagogue and Jewish shops.
–
Darmanen said he had instructed the Paris police prefect to ban the demonstrations on Saturday, but did not provide any further information.
–
The prefect, as the country’s leading representative in the particular district, must be especially vigilant, the minister pointed out.
–
Demonstrations have been banned at a time of ongoing Israeli-Gaza military conflict in the Middle East, with Gaza militants firing rockets at Israel and an Israeli attack on a Palestinian enclave. Riots and clashes with police have taken place in the occupied West Bank and Israeli-populated Arab cities.
