Tens of thousands of protesters rally in Bangladesh’s capital to condemn Israel’s actions in the Gaza Strip.

The protesters, estimated at some 100,000, gather at the Suhrawardy Park in the Dhaka University area. They carry hundreds of Palestinian flags and chant slogans such as “Free, Free Palestine.”

Many among them beat the images of US President Donald Trump, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, accusing them of backing Israel. Symbolic coffins and effigies representing civilian casualties are carried during the rally.

Massive crowds gathered at Suhrawardy Udyan in Dhaka on Saturday, as thousands of protesters joined the March for Gaza to show solidarity with Palestinians and condemn Israeli military actions in Gaza.

The demonstration came in response to the resumption of Israeli airstrikes following the collapse of a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Palestinian resistance movement, Hamas.

Footage from the protest shows demonstrators waving Palestinian and Bangladeshi flags, chanting slogans, and calling for unity among Muslim-majority nations.

Protesters have called for an immediate cessation of what they describe as the Israeli occupation's genocide against Palestinians and the relentless airstrikes. They have also urged Muslim nations to adopt a unified stance, appealing to countries like Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar to raise their voices in support of Gaza.

The Bangladesh Nationalist Party, headed by former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia, and Islamist groups and parties express their solidarity with the rally.

Bangladesh, a Muslim-majority nation of 170 million people, maintains no diplomatic relations with Israel, and it officially supports an independent Palestine.
