Over the weekend, thousands of protesters gathered in cities around the world to show solidarity with the people of Gaza and call for a ceasefire in the region. Demonstrations took place in major cities such as London, Paris, New York, Tunis, and Amman.
In Amman, Jordan, a large crowd of demonstrators gathered on Saturday, also known as 'Land Day,' to chant, hold signs, and wave Palestinian flags. Police were seen pushing back against the crowd in a video published by AFP.
In Tunis, Tunisia, protester Mona Elsayed emphasized the importance of supporting the Palestinian people who have been suffering for years. She highlighted the significance of 'Land Day' as a reminder of ongoing oppression that must be addressed by Arab and Muslim communities.
Paris, France, saw demonstrations where French-Palestinian lawyer Salah Hamouri called for an end to France's complicity in what he referred to as an ongoing genocide in Gaza. He urged the country to cease arms sales to Israel and impose embargoes on the occupying force. Left-wing politician Manon Aubry also participated in the protests.
London, UK, witnessed a significant police presence as pro-Palestinian demonstrators marched waving Palestinian flags. A smaller pro-Israeli demonstration was also held in the city.
