Hundreds Protest Trump Visit in Malaysia Over Gaza War

Hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters gathered in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to oppose U.S. President Donald Trump's visit for the 47th ASEAN Summit, criticizing his support for Israel's war on Gaza. Demonstrations took place at Independence Square and Ampang Park, with chants of "Free, Free Palestine" and participants wearing keffiyehs. Protesters accused Trump of enabling genocide in Gaza, with some traveling long distances to join the rallies. Malaysian police estimated 1,000 to 1,500 participants, who came from diverse backgrounds including political groups like the Socialist Party of Malaysia. The protests also expressed broader opposition to U.S. foreign policy and imperialism. Authorities relocated some demonstrations away from the summit venue, causing frustration among organizers and attendees.
