Global Protests Mark Gaza Conflict Anniversary

Published: 2024-10-05

In a powerful display of solidarity, approximately 1,000 people gathered in central Stockholm on Saturday to protest against the ongoing conflict in Gaza.

The demonstration, which began at Odenplan and moved towards Gustav Adolfs torg and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, was part of a series of global protests marking the anniversary of the Hamas attacks in Israel.

Similar demonstrations took place across Europe, including in Rome, where clashes with police occurred, and in London, where tensions rose between pro-Palestinian and pro-Israeli groups.

Despite some unrest, many protests, such as those in Hamburg, Berlin, and Paris, remained peaceful.

These events highlight the widespread international concern and solidarity with the victims of the conflict as the anniversary approaches.
