A German student replaces the flag outside the Bundestag with a Palestinian flag in protest of Berlin's policies.
A 22-year-old German student, identified as Aron, climbed a flagpole outside the Bundestag, removed the German flag and waved a Palestinian flag to protest Berlin's stance on Israel's war in Gaza. He was acting with activists from Peace Against Genocide, live on TikTok before the police arrested him and two others. Aaron told Al Jazeera that he wanted to send a direct message to lawmakers. The incident prompted an investigation and a security review. On Saturday, hundreds marched in Berlin against the supply of German arms to Israel.
