French Performers March for Peace Amid Israel-Hamas Conflict

President Macron Advocates for Humanitarian Truce as Tensions Rise in France

French performers led a silent march in Paris to call for peace between Israelis and Palestinians and unity in France.
France, home to significant Jewish and Muslim populations, has seen weeks of protests and tensions over the Israel-Hamas war.
The French government is pushing for a truce to get humanitarian aid to Palestinian civilians in Gaza and also trying to negotiate the release of eight French hostages held by Hamas.
French President Emmanuel Macron confirmed his support for Israel's right to defend itself but denounced 'too numerous civilian losses' in Gaza and urged an immediate humanitarian truce leading to a cease-fire.
Survivors of Nazi atrocities during World War II joined young Jewish activists outside the Paris Holocaust memorial to sound the alarm about resurgent antisemitic hate speech, graffiti and abuse linked to the war in the Mideast.
