France on October 12, 2023 said it was banning all pro-Palestinian demonstrations after the attack on Israel by Hamas, on the grounds such protests threaten to public order. Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said that the demonstrations "are likely to generate disturbances to public order" adding that organisers should face arrest. Fighting between Israel and Hamas has entered a sixth day following the assault on Israel by the Palestinian militant group on October 7, which has claimed thousands of lives on both sides.

Students at multiple Jewish schools across Paris were reportedly sent home this morning after an anonymous bomb threat was called in.

The threat was targeted toward “20 Jewish schools in the Paris area” several sources in the Jewish community source told The Jerusalem Post.

The JC has not yet been able to independently verify the threat.

The publication quoted sources as saying: "There was a bomb threat towards many Jewish schools. Some of these schools have been evacuated. In most schools, parents were asked to take their children home."
