Ongoing Palestinian Demonstrations in Berlin

In Berlin, Palestinian groups continue to demonstrate in solidarity with their cause, over a year after the attack on Israel. Recently, approximately 500 participants marched through the city, showcasing their commitment to ending the violence in Gaza.

While the demonstration began peacefully, it was momentarily interrupted by incidents involving fireworks and subsequent arrests. Despite these disruptions, the march resumed and concluded successfully.

The protests have become a regular occurrence, often held midweek and on weekends, reflecting a sustained response to the events of October 7, 2023. Participants voice demands such as halting German arms deliveries to Israel, emphasizing their grievances against the ongoing conflict.

The police remain vigilant, monitoring the demonstrations and ensuring public order amidst rising tensions. In a related event, a large Kurdish demonstration in Cologne attracted nearly 10,000 people, highlighting the vibrant activism present in Germany concerning various geopolitical issues.
