In a powerful display of solidarity with Palestine, protesters gathered in Kabul to deliver a resounding message: 'Stop the genocide in Gaza.' While details about the gathering's size and organizers remain unclear, the demonstration was a direct response to perceived acts of genocide in Gaza.

Activists had previously protested at Hostages Square in Tel Aviv following the accidental killing of three Israeli hostages by IDF personnel during Gaza offensive operations. Lee Siegel, whose brother fell victim to Hamas' hostage-taking, joined the rallying crowd, urging the Israeli government to intensify efforts for the release of remaining captives. Despite the IDF and ISA announcing operations' completion at Kamal Adwan Hospital, the accidental hostage killings fueled anger on Tel Aviv streets.

In Jakarta, a significant demonstration echoed solidarity with Palestinians and called for an end to U.S. support in the Gaza conflict. The international response reflects global concern over the Israel-Gaza conflict, emphasizing widespread calls for peace and an end to external support that perpetuates violence.

The conflict's toll on humanitarian workers is stark, with Hani Jnena, a USAID contractor, and his family killed in a Gaza airstrike. This incident prompted USAID officials to urge the Biden administration to pressure Israel to limit civilian casualties. The conflict has claimed 135 UN relief workers' lives in Gaza since October 7, intensifying calls for decisive action to safeguard humanitarian workers and prevent further casualties.
