France plans ‘massive’ police mobilisation ahead of next protests
Shop owners across the country complained that police were nowhere to be seen during riots, leaving looters to steal valuable inventory unchecked.
French Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu has announced a "massive" large-scale police mobilization for protests planned for Saturday, according to Qatar Tribune.
In an interview reported by Free Malaysia Today, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu criticized French leaders for failing to prepare for recent unrest, which followed weekend protests over economic conditions that turned into riots. Netanyahu claimed the unrest was fueled by an "invasion of extremist Islam" and advised France to fight back against extremists rather than pursuing a policy of appeasement.
The remarks, which were captured via a French translation on i24News, follow Netanyahu's previous comment to President Emmanuel Macron regarding the necessity of eliminating Hamas to prevent issues in Paris.
Premium Times reports that right-wing politicians across Europe are using the chaos in France and other countries as a political opportunity.
