German police assault demonstrators during a march in support of Palestine, arresting a number of them

German police forces attacked several demonstrators and arrested some of them during a march held on Saturday in the capital, Berlin, in solidarity with the Palestinian people against the genocide committed by Israel against them, especially in the Gaza Strip.

It is noteworthy that more than a thousand people gathered near the “Platz der Luftbrücke” metro station, to denounce the attacks launched by the Israeli occupation forces on Gaza for more than a year, and to express solidarity with the Palestinian people.

He pointed out that the demonstrators later marched around the station, raising Palestinian flags and banners demanding that the German government stop supplying Israel with weapons used to kill the Palestinian people.

The reporter pointed out that clashes occurred during the march between demonstrators and police forces, which led to many participants supporting Palestine being subjected to violence and arrest.

The participants in the demonstration were forced to end it near the Gneisenau metro station, due to police intervention to disperse them.

After they refused to leave the scene, police arrested another large group of protesters.

Germany has been vocal in its support for Israel through its officials, and has approved the sale of €31 million worth of weapons and military equipment to Israel in recent weeks.

The Ministry of Economy and Climate Protection stated on October 16 that the government had approved the sale of weapons and military equipment to Israel worth 45.74 million euros during the current year.

With full American support, the Israeli genocidal war in Gaza, which has been ongoing for more than a year, has left more than 145,000 Palestinian martyrs and wounded, and more than 10,000 missing, amidst massive destruction and famine that has killed dozens of children and elderly people.

Tel Aviv continues its massacres, ignoring the UN Security Council resolution to end them immediately, and the International Court of Justice’s orders to take measures to prevent acts of genocide and improve the catastrophic humanitarian situation in Gaza.
