Albania Protests PM Edi Rama’s Visit to Israel

A pro-Palestinian protest occurred in Tirana, Albania, on January 30, opposing Prime Minister Edi Rama’s visit to Israel from January 25 to 27. Organized under the slogan “Not in My Name,” demonstrators criticized Rama’s support for Israeli actions in Gaza and expressed solidarity with Palestinians. Rama’s speech in the Knesset, which blamed Hamas for the humanitarian crisis and emphasized Albania’s historical support for Jews, was deemed one-sided by local experts. Protesters were prevented from marching, highlighting societal divisions over foreign policy.
