Massive Marches Across Europe Protest Israel's Military Campaign in Gaza

Protesters across Europe demand humanitarian aid delivery and detainee release amid Gaza conflict, with Rome seeing hundreds of thousands rally for four days, organizers said.

  • On October 4, 2025, massive pro-Palestinian rallies swept across Europe on Saturday demanding an end to the war in Gaza and the release of activists aboard a humanitarian flotilla, while police in Rome said about 250,000 people attended a fourth consecutive day of protests.
  • Demonstrators demanded an immediate ceasefire and aid, following the Global Sumud Flotilla’s interception on Wednesday after leaving Barcelona in early September, with around 50 Spaniards detained.
  • In Spain, police reported about 70,000 in Barcelona and nearly 92,000 in Madrid, while London police made at least 355 arrests, and Helene Coron urged continued flotilla efforts.
  • Facing domestic backlash, Meloni condemned demonstrators for defacing a statue of Pope John Paul II and said, `They claim to take to the streets for peace, but they insult the memory of a man who was a true defender and builder of peace.`
  • Spain said in September it would ban imports from Israeli settlements described by UN rights chief Volker Turk as a war crime, while Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez called to bar Israel from international sport after the September 14 Vuelta a Espana disruption.
