On Wednesday night in Berlin, 65 police officers were injured and 174 people were temporarily detained after a Palestinian protest went out of control, Politico reported.
According to the current state of affairs, colleagues have been injured in the past hours due to stones, burning liquids and acts of resistance, among other things. However, bystanders and persons who offered opposition have also been injured.
The demonstrations followed an explosion at a Gaza hospital. The military standoff in the Middle East between Israel and Hamas, which had killed several thousand people, fuelled fears that the conflict could escalate into a large-scale war.
Unknown people threw Molotov cocktails at the Synagogue on Wednesday morning; no one was injured.
Justice Minister Marco Buschmann called freedom of assembly an essential right, but emphasised that it was unacceptable to use peaceful demonstrations to “incite against Jews.”
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz condemned on Thursday that some demonstrators were shouting anti-Semitic slogans during protests in Berlin.
Antisemitism has no place in Germany, and we will do everything we can to stand against it. We will do this as citizens, as those who bear political responsibility.
