The participants in the demonstration, who included Parisians as well as people from several other European countries, demanded that the Israeli regime’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, be tried for genocide and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people.
They also slammed French President Emmanuel Macron’s recent remarks in which he conditioned the establishment of an independent Palestinian state to the disarmament of Hamas and an end to the presence of resistance forces in the Gaza Strip.
Speaking to an Al-Alam reporter, a German girl named Ana Werner who was taking part in the demonstration said there is something more important than the UEFA Champions League final match between Paris Saint-Germain thrashed Inter Milan, and that is the dire situation in Gaza.
She said the international community faces an unforgettable embarrassment with its indifference and silence over the tragedy in Gaza.
She went on to explain that the continued siege of Gaza means the destruction of its children.
Werner, who was carrying a symbolic body of a child, said, “I imagine that the symbolic body of this child in my hands is my brother or son. I left the Champions League final and my city of Munich, and came to Paris to express my anger at the Zionists’ crime and voice my solidarity with the people of Gaza.

The Israeli regime’s war on Gaza that began on October 7, 2023, has killed at least 54,381 Palestinians and wounded 124,054, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.
The Israeli siege on Gaza has also led to humanitarian crisis as a result of lack of food and medicine, compounded by the collapse of the enclave’s health system.
