Meanwhile, nearly a hundred people organised a protest in front of the European Parliament‘s headquarters in Brussels to condemn the continued Israeli attacks. The protesters declared that, „the Israeli actions, including random shelling without any distinction between civilians or military personnel and the killing of children and women, are war crimes which Israeli officials should be tried for.“

The protesters chanted slogans against Israel, including „Israel is a terrorist“ and „Boycott Israel“, and appealed to the governments of the European Union and Belgium to take rapid political action to stop Israeli‘s aggression against Gaza.
