About 200 people protested outside the residence of France's ambassador to Israel Saturday against President Emmanuel Macron, after he vowed his country would not "give up cartoons" depicting the Prophet Mohammed.
Protesters, some of them wearing surgical face masks in keeping with coronavirus regulations, carried banners in Arabic in support of the prophet.

The demonstration was held in the largely-Arab district of Jaffa in Tel Aviv, after Muslim evening prayers. One of the demonstrators, Amin Bukhari, accused Macron of playing the game of "the extreme right".
"The Prophet Mohammed is the most sacred thing in Islam and whoever attacks his honor, attacks an entire people," he told the crowd.
