Thousands of Egyptians demonstrate today in several cities of the most populous Arab country in solidarity with the Gaza Strip, after 12 days of Israeli raids. This can be seen in the images released by local media and social media. Shortly before, President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi had warned: "If I ask the Egyptian people to take to the streets, there will be millions." In Rafah, on the border with the Gaza Strip, aid workers waiting to enter gathered to pray in memory of the hospital victims after the raid that Israel and Hamas accuse each other of.
5,000 people demonstrated today near the Israeli embassy in Amman, Jordan after the explosion at a Gaza hospital, which Israel and Hamas blame each other, left hundreds dead and a wave of anger in the Muslim world. The number of protesters could increase despite the fact that the roads leading to the embassy are blocked by security forces. Jordan, which has a peace treaty with Israel, said last night that Israel "is responsible for this serious incident."
The wave of collective indignation in Tunisia after the news of yesterday's massacre at the hospital in Gaza does not subside. While thousands of protesters continue to march on the capital's central Avenue Bourguiba and the space in front of the French embassy, another group of demonstrators headed to the U.S. embassy, at Lac 2, to support the Palestinian people and cause and to demand the expulsion of the U.S. ambassador to Tunisia. The protesters waved Palestinian flags and placards denouncing and criticizing the policy of the United States and the "Zionist entity" in the Middle East, local sources reveal.
