Solidarity with Palestine across the world
In solidarity with Palestine against the Israeli aggression, citizens of several Gulf states have tweeted in condemnation of the occupation's acts of violence.
As Gulf states normalize ties with "Israel", their people are standing against the Israeli occupation government that has been showering Gaza with missiles since the beginning of the aggression on August 5.

إنّا لنُدين العدوان الغاشم الذي شنّه الكيان الصهيوني على المواطنين رجالًا ونساءً في أرض #فلسطين المحتلة وفي قطاع #غزة، وإنّا إذ نُدين هذا الإجرام السافر لندعو الأمة الإسلامية جميعًا أن تقف بكل قوة في وجه الكيان الصهيوني المعتدي، وأن تساند بالحال والمال إخواننا في الأرض المحتلة. pic.twitter.com/x3JNVS7q9X
