PARIS — French President Nicolas Sarkozy and his ministers as well as Muslim and Jewish figures expressed concern Tuesday that strong feelings over the Israeli offensive in Gaza could lead to street violence and increased tensions between Muslims and Jews in France.
A car set ablaze by a firebomb rammed into the gate of a synagogue Monday night in Toulouse. No one was injured, police said. A second car, containing several bottles of flammable liquid, was found about 10 yards away with its motor running, officials said.
The attack followed looting and street clashes Saturday between Muslim youths and police after a pro-Palestinian rally.
