Massive Protests Sweep Middle East in Solidarity with Palestine

Thousands of protesters took to the streets in several Middle East capitals in support of Palestinians amid Israeli air strikes on Gaza. Protests were held in Baghdad, Tehran, Bahrain, and Beirut, with demonstrators condemning the Israeli occupation and expressing solidarity with Gaza. In Iran, American and Israeli flags were burned, while in Bahrain, protesters chanted "Death to Israel!" and "Death to America!" Hezbollah supporters in Lebanon also rallied in support of Palestinians, with the deputy chief stating their readiness to join the war against Israel. In France, pro-Palestinian demonstrations were banned due to concerns about public order disturbances.
