Gaza protests in Geneva

Monday, 5 February 2024 06:30

Over 2,000 gathered at the Place des Nations in Geneva demanding a cease-fire in Gaza.

One of the speakers, the former French presidential candidate, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, repeated the words from the International Court of Justice that called the bombardment of the Gaza strip as a ‘plausible risk of genocide.’

He called for countries to stop supplying weapons to Israel.

Other speakers called for a free Palestine and some Swiss politicians demanded this country to call for a ceasefire and end all relationships with Israel.
