West Asia Crisis LIVE: Thousands Around the World Protest West Asia War Ahead of Oct 7 Anniversary

Thousands of protesters took to the streets in major cities around the world on Saturday demanding an end to bloodshed in Gaza and the wider West Asia ahead of the first anniversary of the deadly Hamas attack on Israel. About 40,000 pro-Palestinian demonstrators marched through central London, while thousands gathered in Paris, Rome, Manila, Cape Town and New York City. Demonstrations were also held near the White House in Washington, protesting against U.S. support for Israel in military campaigns in Gaza and Lebanon. Protesters at New York's Times Square chanted slogans like: "Gaza, Lebanon you will rise, the people are by your side." They held banners demanding an arms embargo against Israel. The war in Gaza was triggered when Palestinian Hamas militants attacked southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, killing 1,200 people and taking about 250 as hostages, according to Israeli tallies.
