Thousands march in Cape Town demanding end to Gaza war
Thousands of people have come out in Cape Town to demonstrate against the ongoing genocide in Gaza. Cape Town has been the site of many protests in recent months, but this is one of the largest and people here remain resolute. They want an end to Israel’s genocide. They want an end to the occupation.
In 2023, South Africa’s parliament voted to close the Israeli embassy. It also voted to end diplomatic ties with Israel. But that hasn’t happened and people here are now marching to parliament, demanding that South Africa sever all diplomatic and economic ties with Israel.
South Africa currently exports coal to Israel. People here say that coal is fuelling the genocide, and they want that to come to an end. They say this is an important opportunity to have their voices heard, especially as the genocide escalates in Gaza, specifically in Gaza City.

Pro-Palestinian protest draws tens of thousands in Berlin
Tens of thousands of protesters have taken to the streets of the German capital in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza. The demonstrators called for an end to Israel’s war on Gaza, shouting slogans like “Free, free Palestine” while demanding an end to the worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
About 50,000 people took part in the march through Berlin’s downtown area, according to police. About 1,800 law enforcement officers were deployed to monitor the demonstrators. The protesters also called for a halt to German arms exports to Israel and demanded EU sanctions against Israel.
Germany has been seen as one of Israel’s strongest supporters, maintaining a strongly pro-Israel stance for decades.
