As fighting between Israeli forces and the Hamas terrorist group entered its seventh day, French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin ordered local authorities to ban all pro-Palestinian demonstrations, saying they’re likely to “generate disturbances to public order.”

Mr. Darmanin sent the instruction to the prefects by means of a telegram, which AFP was able to consult, in which he instructed authorities on Thursday to arrest those who violated the ban.
