Hundreds of Thousands March Across Europe in Support of Palestinians
Protests across Europe demand an end to the Gaza war and release of detained activists as Israel's blockade and attacks have killed over 67,000 Palestinians, organizers said.
- On October 5, 2025, pro-Palestinian demonstrators staged mass rallies across Europe, with Istanbul hosting large crowds marching from Hagia Sophia to the Golden Horn in protest of Israeli forces' interception of the Global Sumud flotilla.
- The protests reflected anger over Hamas's Oct. 7, 2023 attack, the Global Sumud flotilla's departure from Barcelona, and Gaza's humanitarian crisis warned by the United Nations.
- On the ground, organisers and police recorded around 250,000 in Amsterdam's Museum Square, 70,000 in Barcelona, Spain, at least 355 arrests by London police linked to Palestine Action, and around 50 Spaniards detained by Israel.
- Amnesty International urged use of `all economic and diplomatic means` to pressure Israel, while Sunday’s Amsterdam rally less than four weeks before elections increases strain on Dutch leaders.
- Support spread internationally as rallies extended to Morocco, Pakistan and Yemen, with protesters demanding the release of flotilla activists including Aziz Ghali and calling for humanitarian access and an end to the blockade.
