The people's voice is for Palestine
Iran resonated with a chorus of support for Gaza, where demonstrations were seen in Tehran and various cities across the nation. The fervor extends all the way to the Iranian-Iraqi border, in profound backing of Gaza's unwavering resolve.
Notably, the heart of Iran's capital, Tehran, bore witness to the powerful demonstration by Iranian mothers and their children at Mother's Square, in an emotional manifestation of solidarity with Gaza's massacred mothers and children.
In Egypt, numerous squares braced for the arrival of impassioned demonstrators, heeding the call of popular factions and political parties to stand in solidarity with Palestine and endorse President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi's unwavering stance against the forced displacement of Gaza's residents into Egypt.
Furthermore, acts of solidarity resonated from South Korea to Berlin, from Switzerland's Lausanne to numerous cities throughout France, defying constraints and law enforcement measures.
The French continue to rally in several French cities in support of the Palestinians, despite the constraints and police repression they faced days ago. This came after the French Minister of Interior, Gérald Darmanin, had issued an order earlier to ban any demonstrations supporting the Palestinians, on behalf of the French government.

Pressure from the French Council of State led to the nullification of the French government's decision last Wednesday. It is worth noting that the French Parliament did not approve the government's decision to ban demonstrations supporting the Palestinians in French cities, according to French media reports.
Argentina and Ecuador saw spirited protests, vehemently objecting to the ongoing Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip since October 7.
From Malaysia, a resilient rally embarked on a journey toward the US Embassy in Kuala Lumpur, denouncing the Israeli aggression on Gaza. Their impassioned chants resounded in unison, fervently endorsing al-Aqsa and Palestine.
