Protests against Israel's military offensive in Gaza have taken place across multiple locations worldwide. The Venice Film Festival opened amid demonstrations calling for an end to the Gaza conflict, with larger protests planned for the weekend. In the United States, over 200 protesters, including Jewish groups such as Jewish Voice for Peace, occupied the lobby of Senator Alex Padilla's office in San Francisco, demanding that he oppose U.S. military aid to Israel and support humanitarian aid to Gaza. Some protesters were arrested during this occupation. Palestinian activists in Oakland urged the city to halt military shipments to Israel. In Washington, demonstrators condemned what they described as an Israeli campaign of extermination and called for protection of journalists. In Israel, police in Haifa arrested six activists participating in Gaza solidarity protests and detained several others, including a 14-year-old girl in Germany who was arrested during a pro-Palestine demonstration in Berlin. German police also reportedly used force against pro-Palestine protesters. The protests reflect widespread international opposition to Israel's actions in Gaza, with activists highlighting concerns over civilian casualties, including the killing of doctors, patients, and journalists, and calling for an immediate end to the conflict and humanitarian access to the region.
