The overland 'Palestine Convoy', which departed from France, arrived in Bosnia and Herzegovina on July 27, 2026, aiming to draw attention to what it describes as the ongoing Israeli 'genocide' in the Gaza Strip. Participants visited the city of Srebrenica and the Potocari memorial cemetery, where they prayed for the souls of the victims of the genocide that occurred there in 1995. They affirmed their solidarity with Palestinians and their rejection of the ongoing genocide in Gaza. Turkish delegation coordinator Hüseyin Durmaz said the convoy aims to draw attention to the genocide in Gaza, while emphasizing that historical crimes are not forgotten.
