The commitment of prominent personalities is particularly remarkable: Roger Waters will contact the demonstrators by video message, while the musicians Bausa and Daniel Aminati are also announced.

Police operation and other events

The Berlin police began around 1,000 forces to ensure security during the Gaza demonstration, which also overlaps around 100 people on Paris Square with a counter-100 people. This counter -demonstration is a reaction to the protests and shows the conflict situation within the social debates. If there are any disturbances, the emergency services are well prepared.

This event underlines the broader mobilization in the capital, which aims not only on the conflict in Gaza, but also on social and political questions.

Peace movement and global protests

Today's protests in Berlin are part of a larger trend where Easter marches for peace are carried out in over 100 cities in Germany. These marches are a reaction to persistent wars in the Middle East and the conflicts in Ukraine that have been going on for years. The Network Peace Cooperative calls on the Federal Government for further negotiations and diplomacy and emphasizes the urgency of these topics and the need for peace negotiations at an international level. While some Easter marches also criticize the Israeli government and accusation of genocide, the connection between pacifism and clear political demands remains more and more complex, such as ZDF.

Overall, these developments illustrate how strongly social conflicts in Germany and internationally have been intertwined. In view of the diverse participation and the different positions within the peace movement, it remains to be seen how the public debate will develop over these topics.
