VIDEO: Pro-Palestine Rallies Erupt Across the Islamic World
Pro-Palestine rallies are taking place across the Islamic world, with hundreds of thousands participating in countries such as Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Tunisia, and others, as reported by RIA Novosti.
It has been noted that the events unfolding in the Middle East have united both Sunnis and Shiites. Pro-Palestinian slogans are being chanted, and attendees are accusing Israel of genocide.
The situation in the Middle East sharply escalated following the infiltration of armed militants from the Palestinian radical movement Hamas into Israeli territory on October 7. Hamas claims that its attack is in response to Israeli actions against the Al-Aqsa mosque located on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.
Israel has announced a total blockade of the Gaza Strip and has begun strikes against it, as well as certain areas in Lebanon and Syria. Clashes are also occurring in the West Bank.
More than 1,500 people have reportedly died on the Palestinian side, with over 7,200 injured. On the Israeli side, casualties are up to 1,500, with 4,000 wounded.
