Massive demonstrations around the world condemning the war of genocide and starvation in Gaza.

Many cities in Europe and Asia are witnessing several demonstrations calling for an end to the Israeli genocide in the Gaza Strip and for humanitarian aid to be delivered to the starving civilians trapped there.

In Amsterdam, protesters urged the Dutch government to take firm action against Israel, including imposing strict sanctions and severing political and military relations with it, affirming their determination to continue protesting in the streets and in front of military institutions until their demands are met.

A massive demonstration also took place in the British capital, London, with tens of thousands participating to demand sanctions against the Israeli government and an end to arms exports to it. Protesters criticized what they saw as the British government's failure to take firm stances commensurate with the scale of the humanitarian tragedy resulting from the ongoing siege and starvation in the region.

In this context, the police stated that they had arrested more than 50 people during their participation in a demonstration in front of Parliament protesting Britain's decision to ban the movement 'Palestine Action.'

Other European capitals and cities also witnessed similar demonstrations, notably in the French capital Paris, the Swedish Stockholm, the German Berlin, and the Greek Athens.

Further demonstrations are expected to take place this evening in the Danish capital Copenhagen and in Istanbul, Turkey, where a nighttime march in solidarity with Gaza is set to begin from the historic Beyazıt Square in the city center and end at the Hagia Sophia Mosque.

On the other side of the globe, Malaysian popular and government organizations condemned the war crimes committed by Israeli occupation forces in the Gaza Strip and throughout Palestine. Thousands of protesters gathered in Independence Square in the capital Kuala Lumpur at the invitation of civil institutions supporting the Palestinian people.

For its part, the Malaysian government renewed its condemnation of what it described as genocide, reaffirming its commitment to demanding the establishment of an independent Palestinian state without preconditions.

In Australia, dozens of Australians demonstrated in the capital Canberra, calling for an end to the Israeli genocide in the Gaza Strip and for the delivery of aid. The protesters chanted slogans denouncing the ongoing Israeli military operations and the starvation targeting the residents of the region.

They also called for pressure on the Israeli government to open the crossings and allow humanitarian and medical aid to enter. In South Korea, demonstrators took to the streets in the capital Seoul in solidarity and support for Gaza and Palestine.
