A diverse group of protesters in Pakistan united to denounce Israel’s alleged war crimes and disregard for an International Court of Justice order to stop military actions in Palestine. They demanded the government sever ties with countries supporting Israel and condemned Israel’s actions in Gaza.
We will end our protest if Pakistan’s government fulfills our demand to show support for Ismail Haniyeh. The government’s fear of the US and concerns about aid packages and spare parts from Jordan do not reflect the people’s sentiments.

The protesters urged international bodies to hold Israel accountable for its actions. They highlighted global condemnation of the conflict, including boycotts and resolutions in the US in solidarity with Palestine.
From universities to cities, support for Palestine is growing worldwide, with even the US seeing a shift towards pro-Palestine sentiments.

Pakistan maintains its longstanding stance of not recognizing Israel and supports a Palestinian state with al-Quds as its capital. Recently, police arrested students advocating for a boycott of pro-Israeli companies in Islamabad, showcasing the ongoing resistance to Israeli influence in Pakistan.
