Protesters held banners with messages such as “Toys in Gaza are losing their children” and “Free Palestinian political prisoners” while they chanted, “Free Palestine”.
Notable figures in attendance included Marine Tondelier, the leader of the Green Party (EELV), Thomas Portes, a far-left La France Insoumise (LFI) Member of Parliament, and Salah Hamouri, a Palestinian-French lawyer and author of The Prisoner of Jerusalem.
Tondelier voiced deep frustration and sorrow about the continued violence in Gaza in her speech.
“This helplessness is terrible because we have been protesting for a year and this atrocity has been going on for a year,” said Tondelier, accusing world leaders of turning a blind eye to the actions of the Israeli military.
She specifically criticized French President Emmanuel Macron for what she described as his lack of meaningful action.
