Hamas Coordinates Worldwide Solidarity Marches in Reaction to U.S. and Israeli Strategy
Hamas is urging global protests in opposition to a U.S.-supported plan regarding the Gaza Strip.
Hamas has called for international "solidarity marches" scheduled from Friday to Sunday, intended to protest a recent U.S. proposal that has been endorsed by Israel.
This proposal entails the possible relocation of Palestinians from the conflict-affected Gaza Strip.
In an official statement, the group appealed to "the masses of our people, our Arab and Islamic nation, and the free people of the world" to take part in these marches to voice their opposition to what they label as plans to displace Palestinians from their land.
This announcement comes against a backdrop of ongoing regional tensions, where humanitarian conditions have deteriorated due to recent conflicts.
Details about the exact locations and scale of the planned marches have yet to be revealed; however, similar demonstrations have taken place in the past to raise international awareness of the situation in Gaza.
The call for solidarity coincides with a time of considerable political upheaval and increased international attention on Middle Eastern issues.
