A ceasefire agreement has been in place in Gaza since 19 January, temporarily halting the Israeli military campaign that caused widespread destruction in the enclave. However, Gaza authorities have reported ongoing ceasefire violations by the Israeli army, despite the truce.

The International Criminal Court (ICC) issued arrest warrants in November last year for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.

Additionally, Israel is facing a genocide case at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) over its military actions in Gaza.

The protest at Mendizorroza Stadium reflects the growing global solidarity movement with Palestine, as calls for justice and an end to hostilities continue to intensify.
