European Countries Crack Down on Pro-Palestinian Protests

The French Interior Minister, Gérald Darmanin, has ordered a ban on all pro-Palestinian demonstrations in France, citing potential public order disturbances. The ban comes as more than 100 antisemitic cases have been reported in France since the recent escalation of violence between Hamas and Israel. Arrests of organizers and troublemakers will be made, and the move follows Germany's Chancellor Olaf Scholz declaring "zero tolerance" of antisemitism and banning all Hamas-linked activities in Germany. French President Emmanuel Macron is expected to address the ongoing conflict in a scheduled speech.
