Tens of thousands of demonstrators have gathered in Paris to protest against Israel’s military offensive in Gaza, pictures and video show.
The rally takes place in the Saint Augustin area of the French capital’s 8th district, not far from the Israeli embassy.
In a video, thousands can be heard chanting, “The whole world hates Israel.”
Protests are also reported in Madrid and Barcelona.

European leaders have led a global outcry over an Israeli airstrike against two senior terrorists that triggered a fire killing 45 people in a tent camp in the Gazan city of Rafah, according to an unverified toll from Hamas-run health authorities.
Bridging the US-Israel divide
While the heart of The Times of Israel’s work takes place in Israel, so many of Jerusalem’s actions are influenced by those in Washington’s halls of power.
As ToI’s US bureau chief, I work to gain access to decision-makers in the United States government so our readers can understand the US-Israel relationship beyond the platitudes evident in public statements.
I'm proud of our ability to inform without sensationalizing, our dedication to be fast while ensuring accuracy, and our determination to present Israel's entire, complex story.
