Tunisia saw on Sunday mass popular demonstrations outside the US embassy, in support of Gaza and in rejection of the ongoing Israeli aggression on the Strip, amid demands for the expulsion of the American ambassador and the closure of the embassy.
Since the start of the Israeli war on Gaza, Tunisians have been continuously taking to the streets and staging sit-ins to raise their voices in support of the Resistance and to demand an end to the genocide being committed in Gaza by Israeli occupation forces.
Salaheddine al-Masri, the chairman of the Tunisian League for Tolerance, told Al Mayadeen that the Israeli occupation would destroy itself if it dared to confront the Lebanese Resistance, as evidenced by the United States sending messages to the Israeli entity not to open a front with Lebanon.

Al-Masri also hailed Yemen's stance, which, according to him, "humiliated" both the Israeli and American armies.
He emphasized that the steadfastness of Palestinian women was the greatest message and slap in the face to the international community, pointing out that inaction toward violations committed by Israeli occupation forces against Palestinian women is a disgrace to the Arabs and humanity.
Elsewhere, the chairman of the Tunisian League for Tolerance pointed to the elderly Palestinian woman who was attacked by the Israeli occupation forces and their dogs during a night raid on her home in the Gaza Strip.
