Pro-Palestine activists to stage protest march in central Paris, 15:00-18:00 June 8; increased security, localized disruptions likely.
Pro-Palestine activists plan to march and protest through central Paris on June 8; the purpose of the event is to denounce the ongoing Israeli operations in the Gaza Strip. Participants will gather from 15:00 at Place de la Bastille and march towards Place de la Republique by 18:00, where a concert will be held, likely until the late evening hours of June 8. Several thousand people are likely to participate based on previous events.
Authorities will likely deploy increased security to monitor the event. Road travel and transport disruptions are likely near the affected area. Limited confrontations could occur between demonstrators and law enforcement officers, or between rival groups that hold opposing actions near the demonstration site.
Avoid affected areas as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling in central London. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers.
