“Pro-Palestinian demonstrators gather outside the Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Athens, Greece, on May 18, 2026”
SINGLE SOURCE
While web results confirm pro-Palestine protests in Athens (outside the parliament) and other locations (New York), none of the provided evidence specifically confirms a gathering outside the Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs on May 18, 2026. The evidence for that date focuses on military situations in Palestine, not the specific location of the protest in Athens.
