Crowds gathered in various cities across Europe, North Africa, and Asia on Sunday to participate in pro-Palestinian and pro-Israeli protests and memorial events ahead of the first anniversary of the Hamas attack on Israel. The events on Sunday followed massive rallies held on Saturday in major European cities like London, Berlin, Paris, and Rome, with more events scheduled throughout the week.
In Berlin, hundreds of pro-Israeli demonstrators marched near the Brandenburg Gate carrying a banner reading “Against all antisemitism,” while chanting “Free Gaza from Hamas!” and “Bring them home” in reference to hostages still held in the Gaza Strip. In Paris, thousands gathered for a Jewish memorial event to honor the victims of the Oct. 7 attack and show solidarity with those still in captivity.
