Thousands rally in Santiago in solidarity with Palestine and Lebanon

Thousands of people have gathered on Saturday  in the heart of the Chilean capital, Santiago, in solidarity with peoples of Palestine and Lebanon.

The protesters condemned the ongoing Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip and Beirut’s southern suburbs.

The protesters chanted slogans denouncing the continued aggression and demanding immediate action to press the Israeli occupation to halt its attacks.

They saluted the Yemen’s armed forces for their operations in support of the resistance in Palestine and Lebanon.

The protest was held to mark one year of brutal Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip.

Earlier on September, Chile filed a declaration of intervention in South Africa’s genocide case against Israel before the International Court of Justice (ICJ).

On December 29, 2023, South Africa filed a lawsuit against Israel at the International Court of Justice over its involvement in acts of genocide against civilians in the Gaza Strip.
