"French Politicians Clash as Thousands March Against Antisemitism in Paris"

Tens of thousands of people, including senior politicians, marched in Paris against antisemitism amid a surge in anti-Jewish incidents across France. The march was organized by politicians from both houses of parliament and aimed to unite the country against antisemitism. However, the event was marred by political divisions, with the far-right National Rally's attendance drawing widespread criticism. The French government's spokesperson called their presence "indecent," while the Communist party leader refused to march alongside them. The far-left Unbowed France party boycotted the march, describing it as a gathering for "friends of unconditional support for the massacre" in Gaza. The event highlighted the tensions in France following the recent conflict between Israel and Hamas, which has led to a significant increase in antisemitic acts in the country.
