In the Berlin district of Neukölln, violent street fights between the police and pro-Palestinian protesters occurred on Wednesday night. These attacked the emergency services with stones, bottles and firecrackers and temporarily built burning street barricades. Residents helped free the streets from the burning objects. The situation seemed to be out of control for a long time. Barricades were also set on fire in the high-deck settlement. The Berlin fire brigade had to move out to several small fires in the Sonnenallee area, but could only take action against "protesting people" with the support of the police who had attacked the fire brigade with pyrotechnics.

In the evening, hundreds of people gathered into a spontaneous pro-Palestinian rally in front of the Brandenburg Gate. The mood was tense there too, and the police were in use with hundreds. After the rally, people tried to penetrate the place of March 18 and attacked the emergency services. In addition to calls such as "Free, Free Palestine", calls such as "Israel terrorist!" And "Allahu Akbar!" heard. The group "Samidoun", which belongs to the terrorist organization "Volksfront to liberate Palestine", posted pictures of burning barricades in Neukölln with the call "Sonnenallee now". It is believed that the promotions in Berlin are related to the current developments in the Middle East conflict.

Already on Tuesday evening, people with Palestine devotionalities were pulled through the streets of Neukölln and had ignited pyrotechnics. However, the police had the situation under control. The situation later escalated, and stone throws and attacks with pyrotechnics on the police officer: inside. The police arrested six people. The situation in Neukölln only calmed down well after midnight.

The police continue to prohibit its strategy to prohibit demonstrations that are committed to Palestine and against Israel. Two demonstrations registered for Wednesday and Thursday were prohibited. The police justified this with experiences that have shown that such demonstrations could lead to "anti -Semitic calls", glorification of violence and acts of violence. However, further demonstrations on the topic are registered in the next few days.
