Tens of thousands of protesters conducted rallies in several countries in support of Palestine, while denouncing the Israeli Occupation's brutality in Gaza, Jerusalem and the West Bank.

Canada

Protesters gathered in the Canadian city of Mississauga, denouncing the crimes of the Israeli Occupation against children and women in the Gaza Strip and the attacks in the West Bank.

USA

Several American cities also witnessed demonstrations protesting the Israeli Occupation's ruthless attacks on Palestinians in Gaza and Occupied Jerusalem.

Hundreds of people gathered near the White House, waving Palestinian flags and banners calling for the end to the bombing of Gaza.

Politicians were absent from the demonstrations, where people were chanting, "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free."

Spain

Demonstrations in Spain took place in solidarity with the Palestinian people, wherein thousands rallied in Madrid while rejecting the Israeli Occupations raids and harming of civilians, especially children.

Local newspapers pointed out that the demonstrators chanted slogans against the Israeli Occupation government and raised banners calling on Europe to end their partnership with them.

Protestors also chanted that what happened is not a war but rather a genocide.

Various posters demanded an end to violence and extremism against the Palestinians while rejecting the "decades of growth" of settlements in the West Bank, the collective blockade of Gaza, and the illegal confiscation of land and water.

Notably, the European Union (EU) previously emphasized that its current diplomatic efforts center around examining ways to reduce the current tension between the Israeli Occupation and the Palestinians.

The spokesman for the High Representative for Security and Foreign Policy in the European Union, Josep Borrell, said, according to the Italian News Agency, that the foreign ministers of the member states of the Union, who will meet via closed-circuit video Thursday, will discuss how Europe can contribute to achieving this goal.
