Two rival marches devoted to Quds Day, which falls on the last day of the month of Ramadan, are taking place in the German capital on Saturday, June 9. A pro-Palestinian march is expected, as well as a demonstration by pro-Israeli activists.
Quds Day is usually held in several countries, mainly in the Arab and Muslim world. The day is usually criticized as anti-Semitic by critics and is also used by Iranian protesters to condemn the United States and Saudi Arabia.
