The German flag was replaced by a Palestinian flag on a pole in front of the parliament, in a move during which activists condemned the government's support policy for Israel and its silence regarding war crimes committed in the Gaza Strip.
The "Peace Against Genocide" movement stated that this step was intended to declare solidarity with the Palestinian people, and to protest the failure of German politicians to take any action to stop the gross violations of human rights and the war of extermination aimed at the Palestinians.
