On Friday, several Arab cities and capitals witnessed solidarity demonstrations with the Palestinians, condemning the "Flour Mill Massacre" and calling for an end to the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip.
**Jordan, Iraq, and Yemen**
In Jordan, a popular march was organized in Irbid, heading towards the Sheikh Hussein crossing in the northern Jordan Valley, demanding the establishment of a permanent relief land bridge for Gaza. The authorities hindered the demonstrators' access to the border areas and the Sheikh Hussein Bridge, with demonstrators calling for a halt to exports from Jordan to Israel.
In Iraq, demonstrations broke out in Baghdad to express support for the Palestinians in Gaza and demand an end to the Israeli war on the besieged enclave, criticizing the "Flour Mill Massacre" committed by the occupation, which resulted in the death of more than 110 Palestinians during a humanitarian aid distribution operation.
The capital, Sana'a, witnessed massive gatherings involving tens of thousands protesting the ongoing Israeli aggression, showing widespread support and solidarity with Gaza.
In the city of Saada in northern Yemen, another solidarity demonstration with the Palestinian people was organized, expressing condemnation of the ongoing Israeli attacks.
Participants in the demonstrations affirmed the Yemeni people's continuous support for the Palestinians and their support for military operations against ships heading to Israel through the Red Sea and Bab-el-Mandeb Strait.
Demonstrators praised the resilience of Palestinians in Gaza, condemning Arab and Islamic inaction towards the Palestinian cause, and calling for the opening of safe corridors to support Palestine and participate in its defense.
The city of Al Mahrah in eastern Yemen also saw another demonstration in support of the Palestinians and condemning Israeli attacks.
**Morocco and Mauritania**
In the Mauritanian capital, a protest demonstration was held condemning the ongoing war waged by Israel on the Gaza Strip and the international community's silence.
Demonstrators raised slogans in support of the Palestinian resistance and the Palestinian people's right to confront the occupation. They also expressed their displeasure with the Arab and Islamic world's failure to support the Palestinians.
In Morocco, about 100 demonstration points in several cities took place after Friday prayers, with thousands of citizens participating in protests to denounce the Israeli aggression on Gaza and to support the inhabitants of the enclave suffering from the devastating effects of the war, now nearing five months.
**The Aggression on Gaza**
Since October 7, 2023, Israel has continued its military campaign against the Gaza Strip, resulting in tens of thousands of martyrs and civilian wounded, including many children and women, creating a massive humanitarian disaster and significant destruction of infrastructure. These events led to Israel's appearance before the International Court of Justice on charges of "genocide."
