Authorities are mobilizing to end the conflict and calling for urgent humanitarian assistance
The World Health Organization reported that this Saturday (14) a plane loaded with medical supplies landed at Al Arish airport, in northern Egypt, and would be distributed to the Palestinians as soon as the Rafah border crossing was cleared.
The King of Jordan, Abdullah, who met with the American Secretary of State on Friday (13) in Amman, began this Saturday (14) a trip to European capitals in search of support to try to bring an end to the conflict.
On an official trip to China, the head of European diplomacy called for an end to the bombings. He stated that Israel has the right to defend itself against the attacks it is suffering. But every right has a limit. And that limit is international and humanitarian laws.
A demonstration of support for Israel took place in several European cities, including Frankfurt, Germany.
Thousands of people also took to the streets in proPalestinian demonstrations, for example in London.
In the United Kingdom, the government reminded people that demonstrations were free. But inciting violence and racial hatred is a crime.
The interior minister declared zero tolerance for antiSemitic behavior and the glorification of terrorist groups such as Hamas. The police commander who stepped up security at the protests said there was no place for hatred in London.
Germany has banned protests that celebrate the activities of terrorist groups or could cause public unrest.
In France, home to Europe’s two largest Jewish and Muslim communities, the government has banned any kind of proPalestinian demonstrations out of fear that clashes could spiral out of control. And also to prevent any possibility of an antiSemitic wave in the country.
The government mobilized more than 7,000 agents this Saturday (14) to strengthen national security after a boy attacked a school and stabbed a teacher on Friday (13).
On Saturday (14), the Louvre Museum in the French capital was emptied by a bomb scare. The entire area was completely surrounded by police.
The same thing happened at the Palace of Versailles and the Gare de Lyon train station in Paris.
