Thousands of people gathered in cities all around the world on Sunday to mark the 100th day of Israel's war with Hamas. Demonstrations took place in cities such as Berlin, London, Limassol, Karachi, and many more. These opposing demonstrations either demanded the release of Israeli hostages held by Hamas or called for a cease-fire in Gaza.

In Karachi, Pakistan, tens of thousands of people participated in a rally organized by the country's largest religious political party, Jamaat-e-Islami. The participants waved Palestinian flags and wore keffiyeh, the traditional Palestinian scarf, to express their solidarity with the Palestinians. The party's leader in Karachi, Hafiz Naeem Ur Rehman, called on the United States to stop backing Israel and compensate Palestinians for their losses. He also criticized Muslim leaders and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation for not doing enough to help end the war. Rehman stated that resolutions would not solve the problem and called for support of South Africa's legal action against Israel for alleged genocide in Gaza.
