The Swedish capital Stockholm witnessed protests against Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip and Lebanon, with demonstrators gathering in Odenplan Square at the call of civil society organizations. Protesters held banners reading: "Civilians are being killed in Gaza," "Schools and hospitals are being bombed," "Stop the attacks on Lebanon," "Put an end to food shortages," and "We don't want war," and also chanted anti-Israel slogans. Activist Karin Wilde said they will continue their protests with determination to stop the Israeli assaults on Gaza and Lebanon, adding: "The reason I am here is to be a voice for those who have no voice. Our gathering here for over two and a half years shows that we are people who know what they are doing and have great determination." Wilde criticized the Swedish government's stance on developments, saying: "I want to hear from the Swedish government what ways it will take to make its voice heard more. We want them to listen to us, to understand what is really happening, and to open their eyes and hearts so that it stops. We want people to live."
