Pro-Palestinian protests erupted worldwide over the weekend as tensions in Gaza and Lebanon continued to escalate, bringing calls for a ceasefire and an end to the violence. The demonstrations, which drew tens of thousands of participants, showcased solidarity with the Palestinian people and condemnation of Israel’s military actions.
In Washington, D.C., protesters gathered outside the White House, where a shocking act of desperation unfolded as a man set himself on fire in a symbolic gesture of protest against US military aid to Israel. The scene underscored the intensity of emotions surrounding the conflict and the urgent calls for peace.
Meanwhile, in Morocco, a massive protest took place in the capital city of Rabat, where demonstrators waved Palestinian flags and demanded the severing of diplomatic ties with Israel. The protest highlighted the ongoing anger and disillusionment felt by many in the region over the normalization of relations between Morocco and Israel in 2020.
As the world watched the events unfold, the protests served as a powerful reminder of the global impact of the conflict in Gaza and the urgent need for a resolution. With tensions escalating and the situation becoming increasingly volatile, the calls for peace and justice for the Palestinian people are louder than ever. #Gaza #October7 #Israel.
