Tunis, Tunisia – (African Boulevard News) – Thousands of Tunisians rallied outside the French embassy in Tunis on Saturday, demonstrating their unwavering support for the Palestinian cause and calling for the departure of the French ambassador.
The rally was organized in response to the escalating violence between Israel and Palestine, as tensions continue to rise in the region. Tunisians from all walks of life, including students, activists, and politicians, gathered to voice their solidarity with the Palestinians and condemn the Israeli aggression.
Under the scorching sun, the protesters brandished Palestinian flags and held banners with powerful slogans calling for an end to the Israeli occupation and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state. Chants of “Palestine will be free” and “Stop the Israeli aggression” echoed through the crowd, creating a powerful atmosphere of unity and determination.
One of the participants, Ahmed Ben Saad, expressed his strong support for the Palestinian cause, stating, “We stand here today to show our solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Palestine. The Israeli aggression must be condemned, and the international community needs to take immediate action to ensure the protection of Palestinian lives.”
The demonstrators also demanded the expulsion of the French ambassador, accusing France of siding with Israel and failing to condemn the Israeli aggression. They believe that France’s stance undermines the principles of justice and supports the oppression of the Palestinian people.
The rally comes as part of a global wave of solidarity with Palestine, with similar protests taking place in numerous cities around the world. It highlights the growing frustration and anger felt by many over the lack of international intervention to end the violence and ensure the rights of the Palestinian people.
The situation in Palestine has been escalating in recent weeks, with ongoing clashes and Israeli airstrikes causing significant loss of life and destruction. The international community has called for an immediate ceasefire, but the violence continues unabated.
As the rally concluded, the crowd vowed to continue their support for Palestine and expressed their determination to bring about change. Tunisians, like many others around the world, are united in their belief that justice must prevail and that an end to the Israeli occupation is long overdue.
The rally outside the French embassy serves as a powerful reminder that the Palestinian cause resonates deeply with people across the globe. Tunisians have made their voices heard, demanding an end to the Israeli aggression and showing their unwavering support for the Palestinian struggle for freedom and self-determination.
