This is the best summary I could come up with:
Some 3,000 people in the western German city of Essen on Friday took part in a pro-Palestinian demonstration protesting against the ongoing Israeli military operation in the Gaza Strip.
The pro-Palestinian demonstration had been planned in advance and was escorted by heavy police presence.
Friday’s rally in Essen was the largest of its kind in the industrial city since the war between Israel and Hamas, the militant-Islamist group that controls Gaza, began.
Local newspaper Westdeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung (WAZ) reported that the demonstration was separated by gender, with men marching at the front and the women in the back.
The demonstration also comes a day after Germany’s Vice-Chancellor Robert Habeck warned the country about the rise in antisemitism and its relationship to the conflict between Israel and Hamas.
Habeck appealed to Muslim associations to “clearly distance themselves from antisemitism so as not to undermine their own right to tolerance.”
