In Stockholm, large crowds gathered in Odenplan Square at the call of several civil society organizations, demanding an immediate end to what they described as Israeli war crimes in Gaza. In Athens, protesters marched from Eleftheria Park toward the Israeli and US embassies, organized by pro-Palestinian groups and left-wing organizations.
