Two men were arrested on Wednesday in Nîmes and placed in police custody due to evidence indicating their direct or indirect involvement in recent events, according to public prosecutor Cécile Gensac. The investigation continues to unfold as authorities gather more information.

Almost a month into the war between Israel and Hamas, the European Union is still struggling to speak with one voice. While EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has expressed unconditional support for Israel, some of her own staff have signed a letter criticising her position, along with employees from other EU institutions. Some EU member states continue to express strong support for Israel, such as the Czech Republic and Hungary, while others worry that such stances may harm the bloc’s image.
