French Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau is initiating a process to dissolve, for reasons of public order, the Urgence Palestine group, which has organized several anti-Israel demonstrations and has called for a boycott of the Jewish state, the minister announced on Wednesday.

He is also proceeding with the dissolution of an ultra-right group called Lyon Populaire.

Retailleau, speaking on the CNews/Europe 1 channel, stressed the need to “hit the Islamists” with regard to Urgence Palestine. “Islamism is an ideology that tries to exploit a religion. There is a disfigurement of faith,” he said.
