Hundreds of people demonstrated on Wednesday near the European Parliament to demand an “immediate ceasefire” in Gaza and an end to arms exports to Israel, demands echoed by some MEPs.
According to media reports, the protesters gathered in front of the parliament at the invitation of French and European civil organizations, notably the French-Palestinian Solidarity Association.
The protesters carried Palestinian and Lebanese flags, as well as signs in French, English, and German, reading: “We will not allow you to support genocide,” “Stop the genocide,” and “No weapons for genocide.”
The demonstration also included the display of a large poster featuring images of civilians killed in the ongoing Israeli attacks on Gaza for more than a year.
