AMMAN, 12 May 2021, (TON): Large protests were held in solidarity with Palestinians around the world including Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Jordon, Kuwait, Oman, Tunisia, Somalia, Sudan etc. In Jordan, protesters gathered outside the Israeli embassy, burning Israeli flags and chanting “Shame, shame the embassy is still there” and “Death to Israel.“ In London protesters gathered outside Downing Street, the residence of Prime Minister Boris Johnson against an Israeli court ruling to evict Palestinian families from their homes in Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood in east Jerusalem. Israel’s Supreme Court postponed a key ruling Monday that could have forced dozens of Palestinians from their homes, citing the “circumstances.” The recent round of violence began when Israel blocked off a popular spot where Muslims traditionally gather each night during Ramadan at the end of their fast. More than 28 Palestinian were martyred in the incident. 

Amnesty International has accused Israel of using “abusive and wanton force against largely peaceful Palestinian protesters.”
