Hundreds of demonstrators gathered in Stockholm’s Odenplan Square on Saturday to protest Israel’s actions in the occupied Palestinian territories. The protesters condemned Tel Aviv’s alleged failure to uphold a ceasefire agreement and its reported plans to annex parts of the West Bank. Marching toward the Swedish Parliament, participants carried banners calling for an end to violence and the protection of Palestinian rights.

Protesters chanted slogans demanding freedom for Palestine and denouncing Israeli government policies. Activist Malin Åkerström highlighted the worsening humanitarian situation in Gaza, exacerbated by winter conditions, and urged the international community to intervene. The demonstration coincided with a statement from over 100 Swedish lawmakers calling for stronger measures to halt Israeli violence in the West Bank.

The protest reflects growing European concern over the ongoing conflict and humanitarian crisis. Observers note that Sweden’s political establishment faces increasing pressure to take a firmer stance on Middle East peace efforts and human rights accountability.
