US EditionViolence Erupts at Pro-Palestinian Protest in Barcelona
Pro-Palestinian riots in Barcelona caused significant property damage and disrupted traffic while protesters demanded an end to what they called genocide in Gaza, officials said.
- On Saturday, two major anti-Israel demonstrations were held in Madrid, Spain and Barcelona, Spain where protesters carried signs demanding an end to what they called genocide.
- Supporters and participants say Palestinians are still being killed, motivating continued protests, while Spain's left-wing Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez drew criticism last month for praising demonstrators after La Vuelta riots.
- Rioters in Barcelona deployed fireworks, set trash bins ablaze as barricades, and vandalized McDonald's, Burger King and Starbucks, with the Burger King sustaining significant damage and causing traffic chaos in central Barcelona.
- On Wednesday night, Barcelona police arrested 16 people, including 11 minors, during renewed clashes with protesters.
- These demonstrations form part of a wider wave of anti-Israel protests across Europe and other Western countries, from Australia to Canada, and analysts say they influenced leaders in France, Britain, Canada, and Australia to recognize a Palestinian state.
