Rome, December 26 (RHC)-- Demonstrations in solidarity with the Palestinian cause are continuing across the world as Gaza remains under heavy Israeli military strikes.

In Morocco, thousands staged a rally in the capital Rabat, calling on their government to abolish its normalization agreement with Israel.  It was one of the largest pro-Palestinian marches in Morocco since the start of the Israeli onslaught on Gaza on October 7.

There were also similar protests in Italy, the UK, Germany and Pakistan.

Protests against the Israeli genocide also continued in the U.S. over the Christmas holiday weekend.  Protesters said there should be “no business and Christmas as usual” amid the atrocities.

Christmas festivities have been cancelled this year in Bethlehem, the birthplace of Jesus Christ, as Palestinian Christians join Muslims to protest the Israeli genocide in Gaza Strip   They also called on people to join the boycott and sanctions movement to demand an end to U.S. support for Israel.

Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza is now in its 79th day.  The total death toll stands at over 20,400. Also more than 54,000 people have been injured. The majority of the victims are women and children.

Those who have survived the war are living in dire conditions.  Vast areas of Gaza lie in ruins and its 2.4 million people have endured dire shortages of water, food, fuel and medicine.
