Pro-Palestinian protesters repeatedly disrupted a concert by the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra in Paris, leading to chaos and four arrests. The event was interrupted when a protester set a chair on fire, sparking clashes with audience members who intervened to extinguish the flames and remove the troublemakers. The Paris Philharmonic condemned the incident, emphasizing that nothing can justify endangering the safety of the public, staff, and artists. Despite calls for a boycott and heightened tensions, the concert ultimately resumed and concluded peacefully, with officials and cultural leaders reaffirming their commitment to artistic freedom.
