Massive protests were held around the world today, Saturday, in solidarity with the Gaza Strip, to demand an end to the ongoing Israeli aggression since October 7.
On the day a small amount of aid entered Gaza, tens of thousands demonstrated in Marble Arch near Hyde Park in London, before marching to the Whitehall government district.
The demonstrators, raising Palestinian flags, called for an end to the Israeli siege and aggression on the Gaza Strip.

In Australia, thousands demonstrated in central Sydney, chanting "Shame, shame on Israel" and "Palestine will never die."
In Tunisia, hundreds participated in a massive march in the center of the capital in support of the Gaza Strip. The march started from Human Rights Square on Mohammed V Street, passing through the Municipal Theater on Habib Bourguiba Street, and reaching the headquarters of the French Embassy.
The protesters raised slogans, the most prominent of which were: “If you cannot lift the injustice, at least tell everyone about it,” “The people want to criminalize normalization,” “The French and Americans are partners in the aggression,” and “Resistance is resistance, not reconciliation, no compromise.”
In turn, former parliamentarian and leader of the United Democratic Patriots Party, Monji Al-Rahwi, said, “This march aims to support and aid the Palestinian people, put pressure on Western countries and their embassies in Tunisia, and stop the Israeli aggression and massacres that Palestine is being subjected to.”
He stressed in a speech he delivered in front of the Municipal Theater in the center of the Tunisian capital that "everyone today must engage in the battle to liberate Palestine."
He pointed out that "his country must coordinate with all countries that reject this aggression, and press for justice in the case."
Al-Rawi called for "the necessity of accelerating the ratification of the law criminalizing normalization with Israel."
Crowds gathered in Lebanon, Iraq, Jordan, Egypt, Ankara and Istanbul, and in Indonesia, Malaysia, Morocco and South Africa.
In New York, hundreds of demonstrators marched to the office of US Senator Kirsten Gillibrand in Manhattan, and many of them chanted, "Stop shooting now." Later, police arrested dozens of protesters who blocked Third Avenue outside Gillibrand's office by sitting in the road.
