Protesters disrupted an Israeli Philharmonic concert in Paris. 4 people are detained
Four were arrested after pro-Palestinian protesters set off smoke bombs and flares, forcing a brief concert halt; the Philharmonie de Paris condemned the disruption.
- At the Philharmonie de Paris last night, protesters set off smoke bombs and briefly disrupted an Israel Philharmonic Orchestra concert, prompting police to detain four individuals.
- Pro-Palestinian activists had called for the concert's cancellation after days of pressure, and the CGT-Spectacle union urged the Philharmonie to highlight `very serious accusations` against Israel's leaders.
- On-Site figures condemned the disruption while lauding performers, with Yonathan Arfi, head of the Representative Council of Jewish Institutions in France, praising musicians who continued despite the disturbance.
- France's Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez denounced the actions at the Philharmonie as unjustifiable, and officials said calls for boycott and disruption are unacceptable and will not prevent artists from receiving audience support.
- The Paris incident follows a pattern across Europe, targeting Israeli artists amid the Gaza conflict, including Lahav Shani's removal from a Belgian festival and a boycott of Amir Haddad.
