French police in Paris, the capital city of France, used water cannons to disperse a pro-Palestine in the city after the authorities decided to ban this kind of protest across the country.

French media outlets indicated that about150 to 200 people gathered in a northern district of Paris to protest the Israeli aggression on the Palestinians.

The protesters hoisted  placards that say" Triumph for Palestine",   "What Israel does are War  Crimes, "Macron id colluder", "Viva Palestine", "Palestine Triumphs" and "Don't  leave the Palestinians alone."

On the other hand, a spokesman for Paris' Police, said that about 4200 policemen were deployed to the area to prevent any pro-Palestinians marches there.

According to local media outlasts the northern areas of Paris paralyzed today afternoon due to intensified unpredicted presence of security personnel.

Paris' Police decided last Thursday to prevent a pro-Palestinians that aimed to condemn using lethal force by Israel against the Palestinians.

Although the official ban, hundreds of protesters thronged on time to the scene of the demonstration.

France's Minister of Interior tweeted on Thursday that he directed Paris' Security Chief to prevent protests to avoid clasheس that took place in 2014 on the margin of protests on the backdrop of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

France's leftists slam the government for preventing the pro-Palestinians and described that decision as a hideous abuse of democracy.

General Secretary of the French Socialist  Party (Parti socialiste)  Olivier Faure tweeted that the French government should ensure the safety of the protesters who take part in pro-Palestinians demonstrations.

For his part, the head of the "Reluctant  France" (extreme left) party, Jean-Luc Melanchon, told "France 2", that "France is the only country in the world in which all demonstrations in support of the Palestinians and protests against the extreme right-wing Israeli government are prohibited." Jean-Luc Melanchon added France's Interior Minister increases the risk of violence and what is happening in the occupied territories" is a geopolitical conflict, the problem is a colonial people whose capital was occupied in violation of all United Nations resolutions.
