Overview

• Police estimated about 60,000 people at the main “All Eyes on Gaza” rally, while organizers claimed roughly 100,000 participants.
• The coalition of about 50 groups, including Amnesty International and Medico International, called for humanitarian access to Gaza and EU sanctions in addition to an immediate stop to German arms exports.
• Berlin police described the large rally as largely peaceful and deployed around 1,800 officers, temporarily detaining several dozen people, including cases tied to slogans painted on the pavement.
• A separate Kreuzberg march of roughly 1,200 people was dissolved over alleged criminal offenses, with reports of banned symbols and slogans and seven officers injured.
• Speakers such as Linke leader Ines Schwerdtner and musician Michael Barenboim accused Israel of genocide, a claim Israel rejects, and organizers vowed to continue street actions to push for a policy shift.
