Strasbourg (France) – Around 400 people, according to the police, responded to the call of the association France Palestine Solidarité and a few dozen other associations, to demand, near the European Parliament, an “immediate ceasefire” in Gaza and to denounce arms sales to Israel.

“Israel murderer, Europe accomplice” chanted the demonstrators, who came from France, but also from Switzerland, Germany, Belgium and Luxembourg, presenting signs on which could be read “Stop genocide” or “We are all Palestinians.”

“We are here to denounce the leaders of the European Union. They reprimand Israel but, in fact, we give it the means to continue,” Gabriel Cardoen, one of the organizers of the mobilization, told AFP.

Within the Parliament, MEPs participated in a press conference initiated by the chairman of the subcommittee on “human rights,” French ecologist Mounir Satouri, to demand notably the suspension of the association agreement between the EU and Israel. (November 27, 2024)
