Over 110,000 People In Belgium Marched In Red To Protest Against Israel’s Genocide In Gaza

Tens of thousands of people filled the streets of Brussels, Belgium, on Sunday, Sept. 7, to demand Belgium and the European Union impose sanctions on Israel and end its genocide in Gaza.

People filled the streets wearing red to symbolize a “red line”, chanting for a ceasefire and carrying a giant banner listing all the names of Palestinians killed in Gaza.

Organizers said more than 110,000 people joined, stretching a 3.5-km line across the capital.

The march was the second “Red Line for Gaza” protest in Brussels in 2025.

It was organized by 11.11.11, Belgium’s largest solidarity coalition, and backed by more than 200 human rights groups including Oxfam Belgium, Doctors Without Borders, Amnesty International, Greenpeace and Save the Children.

The protest came just five days after Belgium announced it planned to recognize Palestine state at the UN General Assembly in September and impose sanctions on Israel in response to Israel's genocide in Gaza.

The Belgian government is also calling on the European Union to suspend its trade and political agreement with Israel that gives Israel preferential access to EU markets.

Israel's genocide in Gaza has now killed more than 64,368 Palestinians since Oct. 7, 2023.
