Paris Games chief Estanguet says Israel-Hamas war wont affect plans
-
The war between Israel and militant group Hamas will not affect the security plans for 2024 Olympics, the chief of the Paris Games organising committee said on Monday.
There have been protests linked to the Middle East conflict recently, with France being home to Europe's largest Muslim and Jewish communities. It was put on its highest security alert on Friday after a teacher was killed in an Islamist attack.
French President Emmanuel Macron ordered the deployment of up to 7,000 soldiers for increased security patrols, as bomb alerts forced the evacuation of the Louvre Museum and Palace of Versailles.
Security at the Belgian border was also stepped up on Tuesday after a shooting incident in Brussels before a Euro 2024 qualifier between Belgium and Sweden a day earlier.
Belgian police on Tuesday shot dead a 45-year-old Tunisian who was suspected of killing two Swedes heading to the match, which was abandoned at half-time.
