About 300 people have rallied at the headquarters of the Paris Olympics’ organising committee, waving Palestinian flags and chanting slogans against Israel’s “institutional participation” in the games as it continues its war on Gaza.

The protesters said that Israeli athletes should compete in Paris under a neutral flag, similar to the rules the International Olympic Committee applied to Russian athletes after Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine.

French President Emmanuel Macron said Israeli athletes will compete in Paris under their country’s flag.

• The Olympic Games in Paris will take place from July 26-August 11.
