A total of 90,000 police officers and gendarmes will be deployed throughout the country this weekend
French authorities warned of a “very high” terror threat on New Year’s Eve due to the war in Gaza as Germany also braced itself for violence.
Gérard Darmanin, the French interior minister, said on Friday that 90,000 police officers and gendarmes will be deployed throughout the country during the upcoming festivities.
“I’ve requested a very strong mobilisation of police forces and the gendarmerie under the context of a very high terrorist threat, of course due to what’s happening in Israel and Palestine,” Mr Darmanin said.
