Overview

• Berlin police estimated about 12,000 attendees, while organizers, including Sahra Wagenknecht, claimed roughly 20,000.
• Speakers condemned Israel’s military campaign in Gaza and called for Germany to stop supplying weapons to conflict zones and increase diplomatic pressure.
• Those on stage or via video included Wagenknecht, Dieter Hallervorden, Peter Maffay, rappers Massiv and Bausa, plus Roger Waters and economist Jeffrey Sachs.
• The demonstration passed without major incidents, and a nearby pro-Israel counter-protest of about two dozen people was monitored by police without escalation.
• Stewards were instructed to report banned extremist symbols, peace flags and BSW banners were prominent over Palestinian flags, and some statements drew criticism as echoing pro-Kremlin talking points.
