Thousands join pro-Palestinian marches in several European cities
LONDON: Thousands of people on Saturday joined pro-Palestinian marches in London, Berlin and Dublin calling for an end to Israeli strikes on Gaza, three years after Hamas’s Oct 7 attack.
Thousands of people participated in pro-Palestinian marches in London, Berlin, and Dublin on Saturday, protesting Israeli strikes on Gaza. In London, marchers carried signs reading "End the genocide" and "Free Palestine" as they marched near the British parliament. Aimee Shalan, director of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, called for full sanctions on Israel during the protest.
A ceasefire began a year ago, but Israel has continued striking Gaza nearly daily, resulting in around 1,450 Palestinian deaths since the ceasefire. Police arrested 20 individuals, including a man and a woman supporting the banned Palestine Action organization. In Berlin, around 3,500 people marched, condemning Germany's arms exports to Israel.
In Dublin, protesters held a march organized by the Irish Palestine Solidarity Campaign, remembering the third anniversary of the Oct 7, 2023 attack. Since the attack, Israel has killed over 74,200 people in Gaza, according to Gaza's health ministry.
