    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.

The Grand Mufti of Oman, Ahmad Al-Khalili, condemned the "brutal aggression launched by the Zionist entity against the citizens, men, and women in the occupied land and Gaza," while calling on the Islamic nations to stand with Palestine. 

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

The Kuwaiti Foreign Ministry condemned the aggression and considered it a "continuation of the crimes committed by the occupation forces..."

الخارجية الكويتية تدين "وبأشد العبارات العدوان الذي شنته قوات الاحتلال الإسرائيلية على قطاع #غزة"

واعتبرت أن هذا العدوان"يأتي استمراراً للجرائم التي تقوم بها قوات الاحتلال.."

On her part, La France Insoumise MP Clémentine Autain slams in a tweet the French government's position on the Israeli aggression on Gaza as “scandalous”.

Israël s'est lancée dans la plus dramatique attaque depuis mai 2021. 28 morts, tous palestiniens, dont plusieurs enfants, et des centaines de blessés. #GazaUnderAttack

Et la France sort un communiqué renvoyant dos-à-dos Israéliens et Palestiniens !

Scandaleux. https://t.co/51xK09xMEy

— Clémentine Autain (@Clem_Autain) August 7, 2022

According to Autain, “Israel” launched the most dramatic attack since 2021, and there are Palestinian deaths, while France is satisfied with a statement that equates the Israelis with the Palestinians.

In different Western states, activists took to the streets with Palestinian flags, condemning the Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people.
