Thousands of pro-Palestinian demonstrators gathered outside the US Embassy in Jakarta, Indonesia today in response to the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh. The protesters, organized by various activist groups, chanted slogans calling for justice and an end to US intervention in the Middle East.
Ismail Haniyeh was killed in a targeted drone strike in Gaza earlier this week, sparking outrage among supporters of the Palestinian cause worldwide. The US has been accused of complicity in the assassination, leading to widespread condemnation and calls for accountability.
The protesters in Jakarta waved Palestinian flags and held signs denouncing the violence in Gaza and calling for solidarity with the Palestinian people. They demanded that the US government cease its support for Israel and its military actions in the region.
The demonstration in Jakarta is just one of many taking place around the world in response to Haniyeh’s assassination. Protests have been reported in cities across Europe, the Middle East, and North America, as supporters of the Palestinian cause express their anger and grief over the loss of a prominent leader.
As tensions continue to escalate in the Middle East, the international community is closely watching the situation and calling for a peaceful resolution to the conflict. The protests in Jakarta serve as a reminder of the deep-rooted passions and sense of injustice felt by many in the region and beyond.
