Hundreds of people demonstrated in the Swedish capital Stockholm on Saturday to protest Israel’s ongoing attacks and violations in Gaza.<\/p>\n
Protesters gathered in the Odenplan area, calling for action to prevent attempts to undermine the ceasefire process in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.<\/p>\n
Carrying Palestinian flags and banners calling for an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza, the demonstrators marched from Odenplan Square to the Swedish parliament.<\/p>\n
They also chanted slogans expressing solidarity with Palestinians and urging people to speak out in support of Palestine.<\/p>\n
A pro-Israel woman who attacked demonstrators during the march was detained by police officers at the scene.<\/p>\n
Swedish activist Jorgen Helgesson told Anadolu that demonstrators had been gathering for weeks because what is currently described as a ceasefire was not, in his view, an actual ceasefire.<\/p>\n
He pointed to continuing civilian deaths in Gaza and escalating tensions in the occupied West Bank, while criticizing what he described as an insufficient response from Western countries, including Sweden.<\/p>\n
Helgesson also stressed that criticism of the Israeli government should not be equated with antisemitism, saying protesters were opposing violence against civilians and violations of international law.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Atila Altuntas 05 September 2026\u2022Update: 05 September 2026 Hundreds of people demonstrated in the Swedish capital Stockholm on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":606953,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[85,46,43,180804],"class_list":["post-606952","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-israel","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-news","tag-sitekeywords"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/606952","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=606952"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/606952\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/606953"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=606952"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=606952"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=606952"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
