More than 60 French organizations, unions and political groups have called for a demonstration outside the Ministry of Defense in Paris on October 31, demanding an end to French arms shipments to Israel, an end to the repression of pro-Palestinian and student protests, and increased funding for public schools and universities. The campaign follows weeks of protests across France and the cancellation of a shipment of military equipment intended for the Israeli arms company Elbit Systems Adama after public and union pressure.
