Hundreds gathered in Tel Aviv's Charles Clore Park in central Israel for a Jewish-Arab demonstration, calling for an end to the conflict and an "all-for-all" hostage deal. This is a rare protest march in Israel at this time.

In Jerusalem, tens of thousands of demonstrators, including family and friends of the captives, held a rally in front of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu‘s office to pressure the Israeli government to bring their relatives home.

Thousands of Iranians participated in marches organized by the State to protest Israel's attack on the Gaza Strip, killing many Palestinian civilians.

In Berlin, about 2,500 pro-Palestinian protesters marched in solidarity with the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip as German police accompanied the demonstration with several hundred officers. The protesters carried banners and demanded a free Palestine in chants as they walked through the streets, asking the Israeli government to take action to prevent the escalation of conflict in Gaza.

Thousands of French people participated in marches in Paris to express support for the Palestinian people, show solidarity with those killed, and call for an end to the current conflict.

Demonstrations took place as the Israel-Hamas conflict continues to escalate. The Gaza Health Ministry reported that more than 12,000 people have died, 5,000 of them were children since the conflict broke out on October 7.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said the EU opposed Israel’s "forced displacement” of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

Earlier, addressing the IISS Manama Dialogue 2023 in Bahrain, EU foreign policy chief Joseph Borrell said that only the Palestinian Authority can control the Gaza Strip after the fighting. The EU diplomat also said that Hamas cannot be in control of Gaza anymore.

Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi, who also attended the Bahrain conference, said Jordan will do “whatever it takes to stop” the displacement of Palestinians from their homes.

More than 2 million Palestinians are refugees in Jordan. The conflict between Israel and Hamas makes Jordan worry that there will be more refugees from Gaza and the West Bank.
