Protesters have gathered across the street from the Paris 2024 Olympic Games headquarters in Saint-Denis, just outside France’s capital, waving flags and banging pots and pans.

Some wore T-shirts that read “Boycott Israel” as they called for the organizers to ban Israeli athletes from the Games starting next week or apply similar sanctions to those Russian and Belarusian athletes are facing due to the war in Ukraine.

Members of the pro-Palestinian group Europalestine said there was a double standard, with Russian athletes banned from participating under their national flag, while no such measures have been introduced regarding Israeli athletes since the start of the war on Gaza.
