Toulouse: March For The Anniversay Of The Nakba And For The Boycott Of Israel At The Eurovision Contest
A protester reacts in Toulouse, France, on May 16, 2026. People gather to mark the 78th anniversary of the Nakba and express opposition to the current Israeli military operations in Gaza. The situation in Gaza has been described as a 'genocide' by the International Criminal Court and several NGOs, including Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch. Reports indicate that since the beginning of the ceasefire, humanitarian assistance to Gaza has been limited, and Israel announced on May 17th that it controls 60% of the Gaza Strip, up from 43% at the start of the ceasefire. More than 950 Palestinians have reportedly been killed since the ceasefire. Since October 7, 2023, over 73,000 Palestinians have been reported killed in Gaza by the Israeli army, while Hamas killed 1,149 Israelis on October 7, 2023. (Photo by Alain Pitton/NurPhoto)
