Around 400 law enforcement officials are actively working. - Protesters against Israel gather in Berlin's City West.
Approximately 500 people brandished Palestinian flags, shouted "Israel is a terrorist nation" and "Stop the killing, stop the conflict. Terminate the Gaza genocide." Some individuals donned kufiya headscarves.
In addition, a sizable number of law enforcement personnel were present. Nearly 400 officers were positioned across the city, due to the police's announcement of multiple decentralized actions at 7:48 pm, as per social media entries.
Do you wonder precisely at 7:48 pm? On May 15th, Palestinians commemorate the displacement and exodus of over 700,000 individuals during the initial Middle East War in 1948. This specific portion of British Mandate for Palestine turned into Israel on May 14th, 1948. The neighboring Arab nations assaulted the newly formed state. Consequently, between 700,000 to 800,000 Palestinians were forced to leave or were driven out.
