Hawzah News Agency- The campaign began on Friday, February 6, and is continuing through Saturday and Sunday, February 7 and 8, with demonstrations taking place in multiple countries. Organizers say the actions are intended to break what they describe as international silence and to amplify Gaza’s voice amid ongoing Israeli military activity.
Protest organizers cited growing public anger over repeated ceasefire violations, continued attacks on civilians in Gaza, and parallel military operations in the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem. The treatment of Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails was also identified as a key factor driving the renewed mobilization.
The Palestinian Scholars Association called on Arab and Muslim communities, along with international supporters of Palestinian rights, to designate Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays as recurring weekly days of global action. The group said sustained public, legal, and media pressure is necessary to keep Gaza at the center of international attention.
Demonstrations have included marches, sit-ins outside embassies and diplomatic missions, gatherings in public squares, and the widespread display of Palestinian flags and pro-Gaza slogans. Organizers also reported coordinated strikes and protest actions in several countries as part of a unified pressure campaign directed at the Israeli government.
Online activism has accompanied street protests, with organizers using social media to mobilize supporters. Palestinian activist Moatasem Zaqqut described the demonstrations as a moral obligation, urging people worldwide to break their silence and participate.
Another activist, Osman al-Hafi, highlighted the symbolic significance of the selected days, saying the three-day sequence could have a decisive impact on public awareness and political pressure.
Meanwhile, the Palestine Social page on X said the protests reflect a belief among participants that silence amounts to complicity, warning that ignoring calls for justice could have long-term consequences.
Activist Mohammad al-Qasem said the demonstrations go beyond symbolic solidarity, describing mass street action as a key tool for returning Gaza to the forefront of global public discourse.
Organizers said the protests aim to increase international pressure to halt Israeli military operations, enforce the ceasefire, open border crossings, allow the entry of humanitarian aid, and begin reconstruction efforts.
According to Gaza’s Government Media Office, Israeli forces have carried out 1,520 ceasefire violations since October 10, 2025, resulting in 559 deaths and approximately 1,500 injuries.
Since October 7, 2023, Israel — backed by the United States and several European countries — has carried out military operations in Gaza that Palestinian authorities describe as genocide, leaving more than 239,000 Palestinians killed or wounded, the majority of them women and children. Thousands remain missing, hundreds of thousands have been displaced, and large parts of the enclave have been destroyed.
