"Tens of thousands of people have gathered around the world for al-Quds Day, an annual event on the final Friday of Ramadan demonstrating solidarity with Palestine and opposition to Israeli occupation. Rallies took place across numerous countries, including Iran, Malaysia, Indonesia, Kashmir and Yemen."
"In Tehran, thousands marched, chanting death to Israel and death to America as the United States-Israeli military campaign entered its 14th day of conflict. The event has long been associated with Iran, and was established by the country's first supreme leader, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, in 1979."
"In Kashmir, protesters burned mock coffins bearing images of US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu while shouting slogans against the United States and Israel. For the first time in 40 years, the United Kingdom banned London's al-Quds Day march, citing risks of public disorder."
