Egyptians rally in support of Gaza following Eid al-Fitr prayer
ANKARA (AA) – Thousands of Egyptians on Monday staged rallies in support of the Palestinian people in Gaza following the Eid al-Fitr prayer, stressing their rejection of any attempt to displace the Palestinian people from their land.
According to the state-affiliated Al-Qahera News channel, thousands of Egyptians in several cities waved Palestinian and Egyptian flags, and chanted slogans in support of the Palestinian people.
The Israeli army launched a surprise aerial campaign on the Gaza Strip on March 18 in which it has killed around 1000 people and injured more than 2,000 others.
Israel has killed more than 50,200 Palestinians, mostly women and children, in Gaza since October 2023.
The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants last November for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.
