People around the world continue to be unrelenting in their push for greater alertness and understanding of the live situation in Palestine, after yesterday’s “Free Palestine” march in London saw an estimated 150,000 attendees.

Despite France’s ban on pro-Palestinian protests in its capital this weekend, protestors who were met by riot police firing tear gas and water cannon still gathered to voice their solidarity with the people of Gaza.

“We must remember we are part of an international movement ... This is a worldwide movement for justice ... Palestinian people are having their land seized … and they are now being killed in their homes.”

Turkey says it has been rallying together an international peacekeeping force as the world looks on in horror at the latest violence in the ethnic cleansing of Palestine

The International Criminal Court and a chorus of celebrities have voiced concerns about Israel’s actions in Gaza and Sheikh Jarrah – while civil war within Israel has all but broken out.

In a sign of its ever-increasing position on the world stage, Turkey has swiftly responded to the events of the past few days where Israeli Occupation Forces have launched a tirade of senseless attacks on Palestinian Muslims in the third-holiest site of Islam, al-Aqsa.

As children killed by Israeli air strikes in the densely-populated Gaza are mourned, and further assaults on Al-Aqsa Mosque are conducted, the Palestinian resistance in Gaza have released an ominous joint statement saying: ”The time when the coward enemy can attack Al-Aqsa [Mosque] and Al-Quds without being held accountable is over.”

Armed Israeli police stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque on Friday night whilst worshippers were observing prayers. Troubling video footage showed the solemn sound of the evening prayer echoing through the ancient streets of the sacred compound punctuated by stun grenades and rubber bullets.

Prominent scholars across the world have expressed their support for “the heroes of Jerusalem who confronted this Zionist belligerence and achieved a victory in the Damascus Gate Uprising” in a letter published on Wednesday.

Yesterday marked the 47th annual Palestinian Prisoners’ Day. Honoured on this day are the many reported thousands of Palestinians who remain behind bars due to the Zionist regime’s desire to quash all resistance against its illegal occupation of Palestinian land.
