Dakar (IP) - Taking part in a new pro-Palestinian rally in the Senegalese capital city of Dakar, the country's Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko urged the Islamic countries to boycott the Israeli regime and intensify pressures to isolate the Zionist State.

Iran Press/Africa: This is the first time since October 7, 2023, which marks the resumption of the Israeli War on Gaza, a Senegalese top official has attended a pro-Palestinian demonstration in the Senegalese capital, Dakar. 

"Boycott Israel", "Free Gaza", "Netanyahu Criminal", "Western Complicity", and "UN Complicity," were among the slogans chanted by the demonstrators during the march. 

Speaking at the rally the Senegalese Prime Minister described his Israeli counterpart as an individual who prefers to crush thousands of bodies under his feet to avoid facing the justice.

Sonko called for more solidarity among the Islamic countries to support Palestine; he said: "We must bring together all those who denounce this injustice, work towards a political solution that is a solution to isolate the State of Israe".

"It is about stopping this human barbarity, validated, endorsed by certain Western countries", added the head of government and went on "condemning only is not enough; Senegal is set for more concrete actions."

Since the beginning of the Israeli genocidal war on Gaza on October 7, 2023, the regime has killed more than 42,000 people and injured over 94,000 others. 

"Economic, political and diplomatic sanctions against Israel must be taken. Calls for restraint are no longer enough; we must do more to support our Palestinian brothers", the Senegalese PM encouraged his people and the world to join the campaign. 

Those surviving in the Gaza Strip are struggling with Israel's occasional bombings, famine, and lack of medical care.

The wave of support for Gaza and Palestine is getting spread across the world as it rose recently in the US universities and spilled over to Europe.
