Copenhagen is ablaze: Thousands take to the streets in a pro-Palestinian protest, demanding an end to the conflict in Gaza. More than 10,000 demonstrators, including climate activist Greta Thunberg and numerous organizations such as Oxfam and Greenpeace, participated in a large pro-Palestinian protest in Copenhagen. The massive crowd called for an immediate end to the conflict in Gaza and urged Denmark to recognize the State of Palestine.
Demonstrators gathered under sunny skies outside the Danish Parliament, chanting powerful slogans such as "Stop the arms sales" and "Denmark says no to genocide". This demonstration highlights the increasing international pressure on Denmark, a traditional supporter of Israel, to take a stronger stance on the conflict.
While Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen acknowledged that the war has "crossed borders", the country has not committed to recognizing a Palestinian state in the near future. This protest emphasizes the public's demand for action and a change in policies.
