Several thousand people gathered on Saturday afternoon in De-Wette-Park near the SBB railroad station in Basel for a national pro-Palestinian rally. The demonstration had been authorized by the authorities.
The Federation Switzerland-Palestine had called for the rally. The call was co-signed by around a hundred organizations, from various Palestine committees to far-left parties and queer-feminist movements.
Among other things, the participants are calling for an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon, economic sanctions against Israel and an end to Switzerland's cooperation with Israel at an academic level.
