Millions Protest Israeli Gaza Actions Across Europe Amid Hostage Talks

Mass protests across Europe and the United States are expressing widespread solidarity with Palestinians amid the ongoing conflict in Gaza. In Sofia, Bulgaria, a peaceful march organized by the Al-Quds Jerusalem Committee aims to support Palestinians without promoting any hate speech, while Amnesty International's planned solidarity event faced municipal restrictions. Spain, Italy, and Portugal have seen massive demonstrations, including over 70,000 in Barcelona and millions in Italy, calling for an end to the war and condemning Israeli actions, with Spanish leadership labeling the situation a genocide. In the U.S., pro-Palestinian protests in Denver highlight ongoing efforts to raise awareness about human rights in Gaza. Meanwhile, in Montreal, despite Hamas signaling readiness to release hostages under a peace plan proposed by President Trump, demonstrators remain skeptical amid continued Israeli strikes and political tensions. Across these regions, activists demand an immediate ceasefire, humanitarian aid access, and the release of detained activists, underscoring deep public concern over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
