BREAKING
Sheikh Qassem: Our supporters make up more than half of Lebanon's population, and all of these people are united under the banner of protecting Lebanon, its Resistance, its people, and its integrity.
Sheikh Qassem: There will be no phased handing in of our arms. [The Israelis] must first enact the agreement before we start talking about a defensive strategy.
Sheikh Qassem: Be brave in the face of foreign pressures, and we will be by your side in this stance.
Sheikh Qassem: Stripping us of our arms is like stripping us of our very soul, and this will prompt us to show them our might.
Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States, which is meddling in Lebanon, is not trustworthy but rather poses a danger to it.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States is preventing the weapons that protect the homeland.
Sheikh Qassem: The government’s latest decision [on the disarmament of the Resistance] is non-charter-based, and if the government continues down this path, it is not faithful to Lebanon’s sovereignty.

Mass group demonstrations took place Saturday in several European countries as part of the weekly ongoing protests since the beginning of the Israeli war on Gaza. However, this week it coincided with Land Day.

The demonstrations showcased unprecedented high momentum and a wide scope across Europe, extending to many cities, including London, Paris, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Aarhus, Oslo, and others.

United Kingdom

An estimated tens of thousands of people participated in a demonstration in London, marching for a distance of two kilometers in the center of the capital until they reached Trafalgar Square, the largest square in the capital, which is expected to witness further gatherings up until evening hours. 

This demonstration, the eleventh since October 7, urged for an end to the Israeli war and genocide against Gaza and to stop the famine while calling on the British government to stop providing arms to "Israel."

In Paris, several French representatives and senators participated in a new demonstration in light of Land Day, one of the biggest demonstrations in Paris recently. 

The protests raised several slogans including demands for a ceasefire, stopping the Israeli murder of children as well as the Israeli genocide against Gaza. 

Germany

In Berlin, people took to the streets today in light of Land Day and in support of the Palestinian people in Gaza. 

The protestors believe that their demonstrations have played a major part in pressuring the German government to shift its stance on the Israeli occupation recently. 

During Saturday's demonstration, they raised several slogans with a ceasefire in Gaza being the most important. 

The protestors also announced that they are organizing another mass demonstration set to take place on Eid al-Fitr in Berlin. 

What is Land Day?

Palestinian Land Day has been commemorated by Palestinians on March 30 of each year since 1976 when Israeli forces seized thousands of dunams of privately owned or communal lands in al-Jalil, in occupied 48' Palestinian territories.

The event led to a general strike and popular marches from al-Jalil al-Naqqab, in addition to confrontations resulting in the martyrdom of six Palestinians, while hundreds were injured or detained.
