| 2025-01-16 |
| [DieWelt] The joy over the ceasefire is not only great in Israel and the Gaza Strip. Spontaneous gatherings also took place in several German cities. In Berlin, some participants chanted forbidden slogans and the police had to intervene. After the agreement on a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip between Israel and the Islamist Hamas was announced, dozens of people spontaneously gathered in Berlin's Neukölln district. The rally at Hermannplatz, which was announced at short notice, was "celebratory in nature," said a police spokesman. The police said there were up to 150 participants. Initially, there was talk of a peaceful event, but later in the evening, according to the police, there were repeated crimes. Since the leader of the rally no longer had any influence on the demonstration, it was being broken up, the police announced on X. Three investigations had been initiated, including for chanting forbidden slogans, and several people had been arrested. A video on social media showed participants chanting the slogan "From the river to the sea," expressing a claim to the entire area between the Jordan and the Mediterranean Sea, which would amount to the annihilation of Israel. There were also spontaneous, smaller demonstrations in other cities, each with a few dozen participants, for example in Hamburg at Hachmannplatz, in Frankfurt am Main at Kaisertor, at Mainz Central Station, in Leipzig and Hanover. The police spoke of peaceful rallies and good-humored demonstrators. |
