Why it matters:
Following the start of the Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023, widespread protests against the perceived genocide of Gazan residents erupted globally.
The big picture:
The participants of the march were carrying Palestinian flags, pictures of martyrs, and anti-U.S. and Israeli play-cards. The police also tried to stop the participants of the march from going to the U.S. Consulate, but the participants continued the march towards the U.S. Consulate and protested at the designated place.
What they're saying:
Muneem Zafar, Ameer of Jamaat-e-Islami Karachi, accused Israel of war crimes by violating the ceasefire and criticized nations upholding human rights for failing to stop the aggression, blaming the U.S.'s support for Israel.
He threatened protests inside the U.S. embassy if the U.S. didn't cease supporting Israeli actions.
Jamaat-e-Islami Karachi Deputy Ameer Advocate Saifuddin and other leaders joined in demanding an immediate ceasefire in Palestine.
