Around 3,400 people marched through central Rennes, according to police, during a new student protest backed by teachers’ unions.

The demonstration is part of ongoing student protests in France.

French students continue to demonstrate across the country through sit-ins, rallies and confrontations with police and CRS forces.

Protests have been reported in several cities, including Marseille, as students say they feel ignored by the government and Education Ministry.

Zohran Mamdani attended an October 7 vigil in New York honoring 'Israeli' and Palestinian victims, and the appearance quickly sparked backlash. Pro-Palestinian protesters confronted him outside the event, while pro-'Israel' voices criticized his broader October 7 statement and comments on Gaza.

Hundreds of protesters marching in Berlin in support of Palestinians on the third anniversary of October 7.

Germany is advancing a bill that could make publicly denying 'Israel’s' right to exist a criminal offense, with penalties of up to five years in prison or a fine. The proposal has sparked debate over freedom of expression, particularly around how people discuss 'Israel' and Palestinian rights. Germany’s own government has raised constitutional concerns about the proposal. The bill still has to go through the rest of Germany’s legislative process before it could become law.

Three years after October 7, the story is much bigger than what happened on that one day. The war that followed has devastated Gaza, killing tens of thousands of Palestinians, displacing around 2 million people and destroying homes, hospitals, schools and entire neighborhoods. And even after the October 2025 ceasefire, Palestinians have continued to be killed, while much of Gaza remains destroyed and millions remain displaced.

A solidarity gathering for Palestine and civilians in Gaza was held at Checkpoint Charlie in central Berlin, three years into the war.

Demonstrators called for an end to the war, accountability for war crimes and an end to arms deliveries to 'Israel'.
