UK: Londoners Protest at Downing Street Over Gaza Aid Flotilla

On Thursday, 2 October 2025, thousands of people gathered at Downing Street in London to protest against Israel’s interference with the Global Sumud Flotilla and the UK government’s perceived inaction.

Spain: La Vuelta 2025 Stage Canceled in Madrid After Pro-Palestinian Protests

The final stage of La Vuelta 2025 in Madrid was abruptly canceled after pro-Palestinian protesters blocked sections of the route, preventing cyclists from completing the traditional victory lap through the city.

Protesters occupied major streets, including Paseo del Prado, clashing with riot police. Police unions criticized the government, claiming authorities had encouraged the unrest and undermined law enforcement. Demonstrators voiced anti-Israel slogans and displayed banners targeting Israeli and Madrid officials.
