Protests in Paris over far-right pro-Israel gala

Protests erupted in Paris on Wednesday against a controversial gala organised by far-right figures in support of Israel. The event, intended to raise funds for the Israeli military, included Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich among invited guests. Mr Smotrich, a vocal advocate of Israeli settlements, had been expected to attend Wednesday's gala, dubbed Israel is Forever, which was planned by an association of the same name.
