ATHENS, August 11, 2025 (WAFA) - Widespread events in support of the Palestinian people were held across Greece. The events were organized by the Palestinian community in Greece, in cooperation with the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement in Greece and the Global March to Gaza movement.
Events and activities took place in dozens of locations, including over 100 islands, cities and tourist areas, creating a remarkable and unprecedented scene of solidarity in the history of pro-Palestinian events in Greece.
The events conveyed clear messages rejecting the crimes of the Israeli occupation and affirmed the Greek people’s support for the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people.
Participants also called on the Greek government to realign its foreign policy toward the Palestinian cause in accordance with the popular stance supporting freedom, justice, and the right to self-determination.
This year’s activities and events extended to major tourist areas and Greek islands, where beaches, ports, and public squares hosted cultural and artistic sit-ins and events. Members of the Palestinian and Greek communities, alongside participants from various nationalities, took part in the events.
Observers believe that this widespread popular mobilization reflects the deep historical ties between the Greek and Palestinian peoples, established decades ago on shared values of resistance against occupation and injustice.
