Demonstrations “Justice for Palestine!” Participants shouted slogans such as “Stop the genocide!”, “Israeli terrorist!” and “Freedom for Gaza!”
The demonstrators also called for a boycott of Israeli goods.
The march ended in the European Union (EU) Institutions Quarter, and some protesters also chanted anti-EU slogans and accused Brussels of inaction while watching civilians suffer in the Gaza Strip.
The demonstration came ahead of a meeting of EU foreign ministers with their counterparts from Israel, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Jordan, as well as a representative of the Palestinian Authority, to discuss the war in Gaza.
First, the ministers of the 27 EU member states will meet with Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz and then with the Palestinian Authority’s highest-ranking diplomat, Riyad al-Maliki.
A meeting between Katz and Maliki is not planned.
On October 7, the terrorists murdered around 1,140 people, mostly civilians, and took around 250 hostages, who were kidnapped to the Gaza Strip, in the massacre organized by the Palestinian terrorist group “Hamas” in Israel.
In response to the October 7 massacre, Israel expressed its determination to destroy Hamas and launched a large-scale military operation in the Gaza Strip.
According to authorities in the terrorist-controlled Gaza Strip, at least 25,000 people have been killed in the fighting in Gaza. However, given the disinformation that Hamas has spread so far, these figures are considered to be greatly exaggerated. In addition, the majority of those killed were fighters of Islamist groups.
It should also be noted that not all dead Palestinians are victims of Israeli fire. Missing rockets fired by terrorists into Israel kill many. There were also reports of cases in which militants opened fire on civilians who refused to submit to the terrorists’ demands and played the role of human shields.
Israeli reports say 132 hostages are still being held by terrorists in the Gaza Strip, although AFP estimates at least 27 of them may have been killed.
