Demonstration in Swedish Capital condemns Israeli violations of Gaza agreement

The Swedish capital, Stockholm, witnessed a demonstration on Saturday in support of Palestine and condemning Israeli violations of the ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip.

Hundreds of supporters of the Palestinian cause gathered in Odenplan Square in central Stockholm, at the invitation of civil society organizations, according to Anadolu Agency.

The demonstrators expressed their anger at the Israeli army’s attacks on Gaza, which violate the ceasefire that came into effect in October 2015.

The demonstrators condemned the restrictions and obstacles imposed by Israeli forces on the entry of humanitarian aid to Palestinians in need in Gaza.

Later, the demonstrators marched to the Swedish Parliament building, carrying banners with slogans demanding an end to the genocide in the Gaza Strip.

With American and European support, the Israeli enemy army has committed genocide, siege, and starvation in the Gaza Strip for over two consecutive years since October 7, 2023. This has resulted in the deaths of 72,027 Palestinian civilians, the majority of whom are children and women, and injuries to 171,651 others to date—a toll that is not yet final, as thousands of victims remain under the rubble and in the streets, inaccessible to ambulance and rescue teams.

A ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip came into effect on October 10, 2020, following a two-year-long Zionist war of genocide. However, the Israeli enemy army continues to violate the agreement daily and still prevents the entry of most humanitarian aid into the Strip.
