In European cities, tens of thousands joined pro-Palestinian protests urging an end to the Gaza conflict. In London, demonstrators displayed solidarity with Gaza by waving flags and chanting slogans against arming Israel. Events escalated as President Trump confirmed U.S. military strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, raising concerns over shifting attention from Gaza's humanitarian crisis. Protesters expressed that the suffering in Gaza should not be overshadowed by tensions with Iran, as they gathered in significant numbers across cities like Berlin and Bern, advocating for peace and government action towards a ceasefire.
In London, AFP journalists saw tens of thousands of protesters, who waved Palestinian flags as they marched through the British capital clad in keffiyeh scarves.
There have been monthly protests in the British capital since the start of the 20-month-long war between Israel and Hamas, which has ravaged Gaza.
Regional fears Saturday's marches came after Trump announced on social media that the US military had carried out a "very successful attack" on three Iranian nuclear sites.
It's important to remember that people are suffering in Gaza. I fear all the focus will be on Iran now," said 34-year-old Harry Baker.
