More than 1,000 protesters gathered in the streets of the Polish capital Warsaw on Saturday, urging an end to the war on Gaza, sources reported on Saturday.

Supporters of Palestine, including many of Arab descent and Polish activists, gathered at Savior Square in central Warsaw in the early hours of today. They marched from there to the Israeli embassy, located just a few blocks away.

Numerous demonstrators were seen wearing the black-and-white checkered keffiyeh scarves and waving Palestinian flags, anti-"Israel" placards, and banners bearing messages such as "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free," "Free Palestine," and "Stop the Israeli war crimes."

Warsaw Mayor Rafal Trzaskowski initially prohibited the demonstration citing security concerns, but a local court overturned the city administration's decision. The march took place with a significant police presence.

Warsaw. Another peace march " not one more bomb.
" which the Polish media will remain silent because they are apparently pro-Israel. The mayor of the city tried to ban it. #Gaza_War #Poland #israe#palastine #trzaskowski pic.twitter.com/Bk1O1CsnWv
