Copenhagen Erupts: Thousands Take to the Streets in Pro-Palestinian Protest, Calling for an End to Gaza Conflict
Over 10,000 demonstrators, including climate activist Greta Thunberg and numerous organizations like Oxfam and Greenpeace, participated in a major pro-Palestinian protest in Copenhagen. The massive rally called for an immediate end to the conflict in Gaza and urged Denmark to recognize the state of Palestine.
Protestors gathered under sunny skies outside the Danish parliament, chanting powerful messages like "Stop Arms Sales" and "Denmark Says No to Genocide." The demonstration highlights growing international pressure on Denmark, a traditional supporter of Israel, to take a stronger stance on the conflict.
While Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has acknowledged that the war has "gone too far," the country has not committed to recognizing a Palestinian state in the near future. This protest underscores the public's demand for action and a shift in policy.
