Gökhan Durmuş, the President of the Journalists' Union of Turkey, spoke in front of the Israeli Consulate in İstanbul. 99 journalists have been killed in the ongoing conflict since October 7, he said, emphasizing that targeting journalists who are documenting and broadcasting violations against civilians during conflicts is a war crime.

Labor and professional organizations, political parties, and feminists who marched to the Israeli Consulate in Istanbul demanded an immediate end to the conflicts, the severing of relations with Israel, and the punishment of Israel in international courts.

The governor's office statement mentions that 63 people, 43 police officers among them, were injured and says, "Being forced to intervene during this sensitive time has deeply saddened us."
