Rallies Held Across the Globe in Support of Palestinians
Thousands of people in Muslim countries and beyond held demonstrations Friday in solidarity with Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, calling for an end to Israel's blockade and airstrikes in the wake of a brutal incursion into southern Israel by fighters from the Hamas militant group that rules Gaza. Demonstrators gathered in Iraq at the country's border crossing with Jordan; in locations across Egypt; in Türkiye’s capital Ankara and its most populous city of Istanbul; and in Indonesia, Malaysia and South Korea.
