When he was elected, Donald Trump suggested he could hammer out a new relationship with Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister who was used to getting his way with the White House.

The Council of Europe's Commissioner for Human Rights Michael O'Flaherty on Thursday called on Germany to respect freedom of expression and peaceful assembly amid ongoing restrictions on pro-Palestinian demonstrations.

In a letter addressed to German Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt, O'Flaherty expressed concern over measures that reportedly restrict the use of Arabic language and cultural symbols at protests in Berlin.

Activists staged a protest outside the European Parliament building on Wednesday in Brussels, lying motionless on the ground to condemn Israel’s genocide in the Gaza Strip.

The demonstrators symbolically represented Palestinians killed in the onslaught by lying still on the pavement in front of the building.

Some Members of the European Parliament (MEP) joined the demonstration, holding signs that read: “Stop the Genocide.”
