Terrorists from Hamas, which rules the Gaza Strip, carried out massacres among civilians in Israel on October 7. Since then, Israel's army has been using air strikes and ground troops against targets in the sealed-off coastal area. Since then, there have been daily rallies and demonstrations in Berlin.
The anticipated crowd at the next pro-Palestinian demonstration on Sunday is expected to be around 7,000 participants. During the rally, various speeches and actions aimed at showing solidarity with Palestinians will be held.
