Political activists from various organizations advocating for peace are rallying in Berlin.

The events aim to urge German policymakers to halt arms deliveries to Israel and Ukraine while calling for peace in both regions.

Participants will gather at three locations: Breitscheidplatz, Rathenower Street, and Gleisdreieck.

Organizers estimate attendance could reach up to 25,000, though numbers may vary.

Numerous groups, including trade unions, are involved, with some focusing on general calls for peace and others representing Palestinian interests.
