Hundreds of demonstrators marched through Athens on Thursday to protest Israel’s interception of the Global Sumud Flotilla and the detention of hundreds of activists attempting to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza. Protesters carrying Palestinian flags and banners denounced what they called Israel’s blockade of Gaza and expressed solidarity with detainees, with organizers accusing Western governments of remaining silent over the incident. The demonstrations followed Israel’s seizure of 50 vessels in international waters and the detention of 428 participants, an operation that triggered international criticism before Israeli authorities later confirmed that the remaining activists had been released and transferred for deportation. #athens, #greece, #gaza, #gazaflotilla, #israel, #palestine, #gazablockade, #protest, #athensprotest, #globalsumud, #freegaza, #palestinianflags, #humanitarianaid, #breakingnews, #warnews, #middleeast, #israelpalestine, #solidarity, #geopolitics, #gazacrisis I
