Copenhagen Sees Mass Pro-Palestinian Protest as Thousands Call for Gaza Ceasefire
Copenhagen witnessed a large pro-Palestinian demonstration on Saturday, with more than 10,000 people taking part, including climate activist Greta Thunberg and organizations such as Oxfam and Greenpeace.
Protesters gathered outside the Danish parliament, chanting slogans like โStop Arms Salesโ and โDenmark Says No to Genocide.โ The rally called for an immediate end to the Gaza conflict and urged Denmark to formally recognize a Palestinian state.
Denmarkโs Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has said the war has โgone too far,โ but the government has stopped short of pledging recognition. The protest reflects mounting public pressure on Denmark, a traditional supporter of Israel, to reconsider its stance.
