Tens of thousands march across European cities as pro-Palestinian rallies mark three years of war
Hundreds of thousands of pro-Palestinian demonstrators gathered in European cities on Saturday to commemorate three years since the war in Gaza began. Activists marched through London, Rome, Berlin, Dublin, and other major cities, carrying Palestinian flags and chanting slogans like "The End of the Genocide" and "From the river to the sea."
The Palestine Solidarity Campaign claimed that over 250,000 people took to the streets in London, though this figure has not been independently verified. Local police imposed restrictions to minimize the risk of disruption to communities and required individuals to remove face coverings. Counter-protests, mostly consisting of around 30 people, were reported in several cities, including London and Berlin.
The demonstrations marked the third anniversary of the Hamas-led invasion into southern Israel on October 7, 2023, which resulted in the deaths of approximately 1,200 people and the taking of 251 hostages.
