Europe Returns to
the Streets Against the Gaza Massacre, Demanding the Release of Palestinian
Prisoners
Several European capitals
witnessed massive public demonstrations yesterday, Saturday, calling for an end
to the massacres and atrocities committed by the Israeli occupation in the Gaza
Strip, the release of Palestinian prisoners held in its jails, and a halt to
military supplies to the occupation. The protests coincided with the
International Day of Solidarity with Palestinian Prisoners.
In the German capital, Berlin,
demonstrators called for an end to what they described as the ongoing massacre
of Gaza residents and demanded the prosecution of those responsible for crimes
committed against the Palestinian people. Participants also urged the German
government to stop sending weapons to the Israeli occupation and to allow the
immediate entry of adequate humanitarian aid for the besieged Gaza population.
London:
First March Since the Ceasefire
In London, tens of thousands
took part in a large demonstration, the first since the ceasefire in Gaza.
Protesters condemned Israel’s failure to adhere to the agreement and its
continued violations and breaches against Palestinians.
Simultaneous
European Marches
In Amsterdam, demonstrators held
the Dutch government accountable for failing to implement decisions to halt
military cooperation with the Israeli occupation and for continuing to export
weapons to it. Participants expressed outrage over the non-implementation of
the Gaza ceasefire, emphasizing the continuation of crimes and massacres in the
territory.
Similar marches took place in
Stockholm and Helsinki, where protesters renewed calls for the release of
Palestinian prisoners and the lifting of the blockade on Gaza.
Supportive
Actions in the Arab World
In the Arab region, dozens of
students and activists held a protest in the Tunisian capital, Tunis, in
solidarity with Palestinian prisoners and to denounce the violations they face
in Israeli occupation prisons. Participants raised banners condemning the
abuses and chanted slogans demanding an end to torture and starvation inside
the jails, reaffirming their full solidarity with the prisoners and their
legitimate rights.
According to the Palestinian
Prisoners’ Club, the number of prisoners in Israeli occupation jails has
exceeded 9,350, including 56 women and 350 children, in addition to 3,385
administrative detainees, as of the beginning of this year.
International
Calls and Continued Violations
These activities came in
response to the call of the “World Rises for Palestine” campaign, launched by
the Global Campaign to Rescue Prisoners, in cooperation with the Red Ribbon
Campaign and the Freedom Fleet to Break the Gaza Blockade, to express rejection
of injustice and support the Palestinian people’s right to freedom and dignity.
In this context, the Gaza
government media office announced yesterday, Saturday, that the Israeli
occupation continues to violate the ceasefire agreement, recording 1,450
breaches that resulted in the martyrdom of 524 Palestinians and injuries to
1,360 others.
The office stated that these
violations occurred since the ceasefire came into effect on October 10, 2025,
up to Saturday, January 31, 2026—a period of 111 days—and described them as a
flagrant violation of international humanitarian law and a deliberate
undermining of the truce agreement and its attached humanitarian protocol.
