- Law enforcement breaks up anti-Israel protest at primary transportation hub
Approximately 100 individuals voiced anti-Israel protests at an unsanctioned event within Berlin's central train station. On a Wednesday evening, roughly 175 law enforcement officials intervened and disbanded the assembly. According to the authorities, this information originates from their ranks.
Seventy-nine individuals were physically escorted out of the station lobby, with a handful encountering resistance. In conjunction, law enforcement initiated 72 criminal probes, focusing on the misuse of unlawful and extremist emblems, along with infractions against assembly rights regulations.
Simultaneously, a pro-Israel assembly, made up of six attendees, successfully concluded a registration process at Europaplatz. The gathering concluded harmoniously around 9:00 PM without incident.
The European Union expressed concern over the escalating tensions at the unsanctioned protest, urging all parties to respect freedom of speech and assembly rights. Subsequently, a delegation from the EU visited the city to promote dialogue and peace between the two groups.
