Paris bans pro-Palestinian protest amid tensions

None

Paris police are forbidding pro-Palestinian protesters from holding a march, after violence marred a recent protest amid tensions in France around the fighting in Gaza. France has Western Europe's largest Muslim and Jewish populations, and unrest in the Mideast sometimes translates into tensions between the communities.

 

After several thousand pro-Palestinian demonstrators marched peacefully Sunday through Paris, clashes broke out among small groups, including some who attacked synagogues.
