Mass protests continue to erupt across capitals and cities around the world, rejecting the acts of genocide being committed against the residents of the Gaza Strip and denouncing the ongoing Israeli aggression and blockade—despite harassment and arrests faced by demonstrators in some countries.
In the past hours, the Japanese capital Tokyo witnessed an unexpectedly large turnout of protesters who took to the streets to voice their rejection of the atrocities in Gaza. This rare scene reflects the growing global outrage over the events unfolding in the region.
Across Europe, demonstrations broke out in Berlin and Bremen, Germany, with protestors carrying banners condemning the starvation policies targeting Gaza’s population and calling for an end to the aggression and the lifting of the siege.
In Denmark, hundreds gathered in the capital Copenhagen to protest the continued Israeli attacks on civilians in Gaza and the use of starvation as a weapon.
In France, a large demonstration took place in Paris demanding an end to the aggression and the lifting of the blockade, while in the Netherlands, protesters in Amsterdam chanted solidarity slogans and called for an immediate halt to the war.
In Norway, a march was held in the capital Oslo denouncing what demonstrators described as the “Israeli genocide” in Gaza. Similar solidarity rallies and marches were reported in the United Kingdom.
In Italy, protesters in Milan held a mass demonstration in solidarity with Gaza, demanding an end to the blockade and a halt to the aggression.
In the United States, hundreds protested near the hotel of former President Donald Trump in New York City, raising signs condemning the crimes committed against civilians in Gaza and calling for the blockade to be lifted.
These widespread popular movements come amid increasing pressure on Western and Arab governments to take firmer and more decisive stances toward the ongoing crisis in Gaza, as the unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe there continues to worsen.
