Thousands of Spanish people marched in Barcelona today in continued protest over Israel’s war in Gaza.
It followed widespread anger after the Israeli interception of a humanitarian aid flotilla that had set sail from Spain’s second city, trying to break the blockade of the Palestinian territory.
Spain has seen an upsurge of support for Palestinians in recent weeks while its government intensified diplomatic efforts against Israel’s government led by Benjamin Netanyahu.
The calls for protests in Southern Europe come as Hamas said it has accepted some elements of the plan laid out by US President Donald Trump to end the two-year war, which has left Gaza’s largest city in famine and stirred accusations of genocide against Israel.
In Barcelona, many families turned out along with people of all ages. Protesters carried Palestinian flags or wore t-shirts supporting Palestine. Hand-held signs bore messages like ‘Gaza hurts me’, ‘Stop the Genocide’ and ‘Hands off the flotilla”.
A Bahraini businessman on holiday in Barcelona took videos of the demonstrations for the GDN and said: “I was genuinely touched by the support shown by people of all ages for the plight of the Palestinians.”
