This recital, which took place in the auditorium of the Paris Philharmonic, had raised strong protests since its announcement a month ago, due to the situation in the Gaza Strip, despite the ceasefire reached on October 10.
The arrests have been confirmed by the French Interior Minister, Laurent Nuñez, who thanked the Police Prefecture for the quick intervention to make the arrests and to contain the serious disturbances inside the room and the protesters outside.

“There is nothing that justifies them”the minister stressed about these incidents in a message on social networks.
The Paris Philharmonic has also “strongly” condemned these serious incidents. “ANDOn three occasions, some attendees attempted to disrupt the concert in various ways, including twice using smoke bombs. Other spectators intervened and clashes broke out. The rioters were evicted and The concert, which had been interrupted, resumed and concluded peacefully.”he points out in a statement.
In recent days, the controversy surrounding the concert had intensified and several pro-Palestinian activists were calling for its cancellation, which is why security measures had been reinforced both outside and inside the auditorium.
“Welcome, National Orchestra of Israel. (…) Freedom of creation and programming is a value of our Republic. There is no excuse for anti-Semitism!”responded just a few days ago the Minister of Culture, Rachida Dati, in networks to these activists.
From the Representative Council of the Jewish Institutions of France, its president, Yonathan Arfi, who attended the show, has asked “exemplary sanctions” for those responsible for the incidents.
He also assured that these “unacceptable disturbances” and attempts at “boycott” will never prevent artists who are victims of hate from “receiving the public’s ovation.”
