Protests under the slogan "Freedom for Palestine" have taken place in 106 different locations across Greece. According to the Operative Information Center-OMM, citing international media reports, demonstrators gathered in cities, villages, and on several islands to voice their opposition to Israel's ongoing military operations in Gaza.
In the capital, Athens, thousands of protesters marched from Monastiraki Square to Syntagma Square, chanting slogans and criticizing the Greek government's stance on the conflict. Participants claimed that by supporting Israel, the Greek government shares responsibility for the humanitarian situation in Gaza.
In response to the widespread demonstrations, the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued a security warning to its citizens currently in or traveling to Greece. The ministry advised Israeli nationals to exercise caution, avoid drawing attention to themselves, and refrain from displaying symbols or behaviors that could identify them as Israeli citizens.
These demonstrations reflect the broader international reaction to the conflict in Gaza, which has sparked significant public debate and protests across Europe. Greece, like many other nations, has seen a series of rallies where citizens express their views on the geopolitical complexities of the Middle East and the humanitarian impact of the ongoing military actions.
