Angry protests erupted in a number of countries following the massacre that the Israeli occupation committed against civilians in al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza.
In Washington, D.C., demonstrators outside the White House accused US President Joe Biden's administration of aiding the Israeli occupation in committing the massacre, which resulted in the martyrdom of at least 500 people.
In Canada, the city of Windsor near the US border witnessed a protest in condemnation of the heinous crime, with other Canadian cities of Ottawa, Montreal, and Toronto also seeing similar protests.
The protesters chanted slogans calling on the US government to condemn the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and to stop financial support to the Israeli occupation military amid the ongoing aggression on the Gaza Strip.
In Lebanon, hundreds of angry youths raising Palestinian flags and koufiyyeh scarves demonstrated outside the US embassy in the suburb of Awkar and the French embassy in Beirut, denouncing the two country's complicity in the Israeli occupation's crimes against the Palestinian people.
