Rallies Held across World in Solidarity with Palestinians
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Demonstrations were held around the world on the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People Wednesday, condemning Israel’s war on Gaza and calling for a permanent ceasefire.
Protests were held on Wednesday in Manila, Tunis, Tehran, Karachi, Beirut, Harare, Tokyo, Stockholm, London, Johannesburg, Quezon City, Milan and elsewhere.
The International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People is observed on November 29 each year to mark the anniversary of Resolution 181, when the UN General Assembly on this day in 1947 adopted a resolution to partition Palestine into two states.
Israel launched a brutal aggression against the Gaza Strip after the Palestinian resistance group Hamas launched the Al-Aqsa Storm operation in occupied territories on October 7.
The aerial and ground offensive on the tiny coastal enclave has since killed some 15,000 people, including 6,150 children and 4,000 women, according to Palestinian health authorities.
On Thursday, mediator Qatar said Israel and Hamas had agreed to extend a fragile truce that started on November 24 for another day.
