Europe Erupts in Protests | “War Criminals” Accusations Against Trump & Netanyahu

Mass protests have erupted across Europe as demonstrators accuse Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu of escalating the war with Iran.
In cities known for international justice institutions, protesters marched calling the conflict an illegal war of aggression and demanding stronger action from European governments.
Activists argue that bombing countries in the name of democracy violates international law, while urging leaders to take a firmer stance against escalating military operations.
The crisis is further intensified by tensions surrounding the Strait of Hormuz, a vital global shipping route affected by ongoing regional instability.
While many protesters demand an immediate end to the war, counter-demonstrations have also emerged, with some groups supporting the strikes and backing political change in Iran.
Across Europe — including France, Italy, and Greece — “No Kings” style rallies have also spread, reflecting broader global opposition to expanding executive power and military escalation.
As divisions deepen among European leaders, public pressure is growing over whether the conflict in the Middle East can truly remain “not Europe’s war.”
