Protests and demonstrations continue all over the world in support of Gaza and the Palestinian cause, condemning the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip, which has entered its 148th day, demanding an immediate end to the brutal actions of the Israeli regime.

Cuba, Venezuela, Britain, France, Germany, Switzerland, Malaysia, and Jordan are witnessing solidarity protests with the Palestinian people as part of the activities for the International Day of Support for the Palestinian People.

On Saturday, the first demonstration in support of Palestine took place in Cuba, with the participation of the Cuban President, Miguel Diaz-Canel, in response to calls for global demonstrations. Protestors, including Diaz-Canel, gathered at Havana's Jose Marti Anti-Imperialist Tribune, located in front of the US Embassy in the capital.

Duele profundamente #Palestina. Indigna la impunidad de los que bombardean sin piedad a su pueblo.

Hoy hemos expresado el dolor y la indignación del pueblo de #Cuba en la Tribuna Antiimperialista.

Malaysia calls for a ceasefire

In Kuala Lumpur's city center, hundreds of Malaysians in support of the Palestinian cause gathered to express solidarity with the people of Gaza.

Demonstrators displayed Palestinian flags and held signs advocating for a ceasefire in Gaza. Notably, some posters depicted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a Nazi leader, featuring Swastika symbols.

Within the assembly, Nurul Izzah Anwar, the daughter of the Malaysian Prime Minister, called upon individuals to participate in the rally against the ongoing Israeli acts of genocide.

Thousands protest in Europe

In the French capital, Paris, protesters gathered in front of Saint Augustine Square, condemning the Israeli war as they waved Palestinian flags and chanted slogans in support of Palestinians amid strict security measures employed by French authorities.

In the capital of the United Kingdom, London, thousands of supporters of Palestine gathered to protest the continuous British backing for the Israeli regime since the beginning of the aggression on the Gaza Strip on October 7 last year.

Our correspondent in London mentioned that the ongoing protests supporting the Palestinian people in Britain may be gaining political and national momentum due to the significant support for the Palestinian people and rejection of the Israeli aggression on Gaza.

In the city of Manchester, hundreds demonstrated and chanted, "Your profits are covered in Palestinian blood," in reference to the arms companies profiting from "Israel's" five months of genocide in Gaza and 75 years of ethnic cleansing and murder in Palestine.

Your profits are covered in Palestinian blood! 1000s now converging on @barclaysuk who have investments of over £1bn in arms companies profiting from Israel's 5 months of genocide in Gaza & 75 years of ethnic cleansing & murder in Palestine.#boycottbarclays#FreePalestine pic.twitter.com/0uvqRWbuVU

Additionally, Al Mayadeen's correspondent explained that George Galloway's victory in the by-election in Rochdale was a major shock to the British government, causing "a political earthquake in the United Kingdom." The leader of the Workers Party in Britain sent shockwaves through the British political establishment, angering both Conservative Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and the leader of the Labour Party Keith Starmer, who both staunchly supported "Israel's" aggression on the Gaza Strip. 

Also in Europe, the Danish capital, Copenhagen, witnessed a massive march in solidarity with the Palestinian people. The participants raised Palestinian flags and banners calling for an end to the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip and chanted slogans supporting an end to the genocide.

I'll respond later with pictures from protest in Copenhagen in support of Palestine.
Best wishes from Denmark.
