Thousands march in Paris demanding recognition of Palestinian state from France

Thousands of people marched in Paris demanding the recognition of a Palestinian state and an end to the war in Gaza.

Demonstrators waved Palestinian flags ahead of France's expected official recognition of Palestinian statehood at the United Nations General Assembly on Monday.

In Malakoff, a suburb of Paris, the Palestinian flag has been flying from the town hall since Friday, despite government orders to remove it. Mayor Jacqueline Belhomme, who joined the demonstration in Paris, said the display was a symbolic gesture of solidarity similar to the Ukrainian flag raised during the Russian occupation.

Other cities have also raised flags, although some have since removed them after legal challenges. Socialist leader Olivier Faure has encouraged more municipalities to join the initiative despite warnings from the Interior Ministry.

 French leaders are expected to put the war in Gaza and the wider conflict high on the agenda of the UN General Assembly this week. /CNA
