In Germany, hundreds of demonstrators in Berlin's Neptune Square faced excessive police violence during a demonstration in solidarity with the Palestinian people. Police arrested several protesters before assaulting them, injuring one protester who was taken to the hospital after receiving first aid.
Protesters held up signs reading, "This is not war, it's genocide," "Stop arming Israel," and "Israel is a child killer." Meanwhile, Germany, a staunch supporter of Israel, imposes strict restrictions on pro-Palestinian demonstrations.
In Italy, a massive march took place in Milan, roaming the city's streets demanding the severing of political and economic ties with Israel. Protesters denounced the Italian government's vote against suspending the EU-Israel Association Agreement, describing it as "complicity in the crimes committed in Gaza."
In Sweden, hundreds of demonstrators gathered at Odenplan Square in the capital, Stockholm, at the invitation of civil society organizations, to demand an end to Israel's war crimes in Gaza. Holding signs such as "Children are being killed in Gaza" and "Schools and hospitals are being bombed," they marched toward the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, chanting, "Freedom for Palestine, Netanyahu is a murderer."
International activists participated in the demonstration, including Australian Damien Ridgewell, who asserted that what is happening in Gaza is "clear genocide," and Azerbaijani-born Swede Aydin Amir Hashemi, who revealed that he has been subjected to media smear campaigns due to his support for Palestine.
In Britain, police arrested approximately 40 demonstrators participating in a protest in front of the British Parliament in London, during which they called for an end to the war and support for the "Palestine Action Movement." Similar protests were also held in other British cities.
Dozens of activists in Tunis organized a protest in front of the capital's municipal theater, at the invitation of the "Ansar Palestine" association, in solidarity with the Palestinian resistance. Association member Riad al-Zahafi said that this protest, the 91st since the outbreak of the war, was held in support of the steadfastness of the factions in Khan Yunis and Beit Hanoun.
Al-Zahafi described the targeting of civilians at aid distribution centers in Gaza as a "heinous crime," accusing Israel and the United States of using "aid" as a tool to subjugate the Palestinians.
According to the government media office in Gaza, the death toll from Israeli shelling of aid seekers has risen to 805 martyrs, 5,252 wounded, and 42 missing since the distribution of so-called "American-Israeli aid" began in late May.
With American support, Israel has been committing genocidal crimes in Gaza since October 7, 2023, leaving approximately 196,000 Palestinians dead or wounded, most of them children and women, more than 10,000 missing, and hundreds of thousands displaced.
