SHOTLIST: BERLIN, GERMANY (OCT. 4, 2025) (ANADOLU – ACCESS ALL) 1. VARIOUS OF PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTERS HOLDING PALESTINIAN FLAGS, BANNERS, SHOUTING SLOGANS, GIVING SPEECHES AT POSTDAMER PLATZ TO SUPPORT GLOBAL SUMUD FLOTILLA ACTIVISTSBERLIN, GERMANY - OCT. 4: Protesters gathered at Postdamer Platz in Berlin on Saturday, Oct. 4, to condemn Israel’s seizure of the Global Sumud Flotilla and express solidarity with Palestinians under blockade in Gaza. Demonstrators carried Palestinian flags and placards, chanting against Israeli policies and demanding the release of detained flotilla activists. Despite calls from EU partners to impose sanctions on Israeli ministers and suspend trade agreements over alleged war crimes, Berlin has resisted any such steps. Germany also now stands apart from Western allies such as France, the UK, Portugal, Belgium and Malta, all of which have formally recognized Palestinian statehood, while Berlin continues to oppose recognition. An ARD poll found that 66% of Germans believe Berlin should pressure Israel more forcefully to stop its offensive, while 62% of respondents in a YouGov survey described Israel’s actions in Gaza as “genocide.” Israeli naval forces attacked and seized vessels of the Global Sumud Flotilla on Thursday and detained more than 470 activists from over 50 countries. The flotilla had been attempting to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza and challenge Israel’s blockade of the enclave. Over the past two years, Israel has killed more than 66,000 Palestinians in Gaza, most of them women and children, and wounded nearly 170,000, according to figures from Palestinian authorities confirmed by the UN and other international organizations. A UN independent international commission of inquiry concluded last month that Israel is committing genocide in the enclave, where its siege and blockade on aid has also triggered a famine that has killed more than 450 Palestinians, including over 150 children.
