Massive Protests Erupt Across Middle East, Support for Gaza Amid Intensified Conflict

Tens of thousands of Moroccans protested against Israel's military actions in Gaza, expressing anger towards both Israel and U.S. President Donald Trump, whose policies many view as exacerbating the conflict. Demonstrators condemned the displacement of Palestinians and criticized Morocco's normalization of ties with Israel in 2020. In contrast, protests in Gaza showcased dissent against Hamas, with demonstrators labeling the group as terrorists amid reports of violence against those protesting. Similar demonstrations occurred across the occupied West Bank, where Palestinians conveyed solidarity with Gaza amidst the ongoing assault. In Jordan, citizens also rallied in support of Palestinians, wearing symbols associated with Hamas and calling for an end to the violence, despite the country's past expulsion of Hamas leaders. These protests reflect a broader regional response to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, with varying sentiments towards both Hamas and the Israeli government.
