In the Pyrénées-Orientales region of southern France, the manager of the Tyrovol adventure park refused entry to a group of 150 Israeli children and adolescents aged 8 to 16. The manager cited "personal convictions" related to the ongoing Gaza conflict as the reason for denying access. French authorities placed the manager in custody on charges of religious and ethnic discrimination. The case has drawn condemnation from local officials and Jewish organizations, with Perla Danan, president of CRIF Languedoc-Roussillon, describing the incident as a troubling escalation in antisemitism. The manager denies the allegations despite the ongoing investigation. He has been formally charged with discrimination based on origin, ethnicity, or nationality and was released pending further judicial proceedings. The Interior Minister characterized the refusal as "grave," emphasizing that such actions contradict French republican values. The incident has sparked significant public and political attention amid concerns over rising antisemitic acts in France.
