Overview

• A coalition of about 50 groups, including Amnesty International, Medico International and Die Linke, organized the "All Eyes on Gaza" march from the Rotes Rathaus to the Großer Stern.
• Protesters demanded an immediate halt to German weapons exports to Israel, unhindered humanitarian access to Gaza and EU sanctions or other measures against Israel.
• Berlin police described the central rally as largely peaceful under a deployment of roughly 1,800 officers, while a separate Kreuzberg march was dissolved over alleged offenses and resulted in temporary detentions.
• Attendance was disputed, with organizers claiming up to 100,000 and police counting about 50,000–60,000 participants; Düsseldorf recorded roughly 12,000 at a parallel demonstration.
• Speakers including Linke leader Ines Schwerdtner and musician Michael Barenboim called Israel’s actions "Völkermord," a label Israel rejects, and Amnesty and Medico pressed the German government to change policy.
