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.
