PARIS, FRANCE - MAY 24, 2025: Protesters gathered in the French capital, Paris, on Saturday, May 24, calling for sanctions against Israel, which continues to commit genocide in Gaza. The demonstrators at Bourse Square denounced Israel's ongoing genocide in the Gaza Strip and demanded that France impose sanctions on the Tel Aviv government and allow humanitarian aid trucks to enter the region. The protesters brought empty pots and spoons to draw attention to the famine in Gaza and chanted slogans such as "Israel is a murderer, (French President Emmanuel) Macron is an accomplice" and "There is genocide in Gaza, we will not remain silent." The activists carried banners reading "Occupation is a crime, resistance is a right. Israel, get out of Palestine" and "Allow trucks to enter Gaza." Rejecting international calls for a ceasefire, the Israeli army has pursued a genocidal war against Gaza since October 2023, killing more than 53,900 Palestinians, most of them women and children. Last November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave. Writing by Ayse Elif Erdis.
