Pro-Palestine protesters clashed with police in Paris last night ahead of a football match between France and Israel later today. A large group engaged in an altercation with police in the French capital in which batons were drawn and tear gas used.

France 24's James Andre reports from Paris, where hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters took to the streets to denounce a gala organized by far-right extremist group "Israel is Forever" aimed at raising funds for the Israeli military.

Demonstrators gathered in Paris to protest a pro-Israel event that had included Israel’s far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich.

Paris is on edge ahead of France’s Nations League clash with Israel tonight after protests in solidarity with Palestine and Lebanon engulfed parts of the French capital in the last 24 hours. A ring of steel is being erected around the Stade de France in the northern suburb of Saint-Denis where the UEFA Nations League match will unfold in front of a much-depleted crowd as many are choosing to boycott it.
