"Hundreds of people marched through the streets of Santiago on Saturday in a major demonstration marking the UN International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, joining similar rallies held in at least 13 cities across Europe, Africa and the Americas. Footage shows crowds waving Palestinian flags and holding placards reading 'Palestine will prevail, Zionism will fall' and 'Long live the anti-imperialist struggle' as they moved through the Chilean capital. Protesters accused Israel of violating the ceasefire agreement that entered into force in January. “Israel does not keep its word and is never like before. We already have a record against them; they never respect the ceasefire. So the genocide continues, the occupation in Palestine, the conflict of threat is across the entire Middle East,” said one Palestinian refugee living in Chile. Another demonstrator claimed that Israeli military action had continued despite the truce. “Israel continues bombing. Especially Gaza, but Gaza and the West Bank on both sides continue to kill. Not only Palestine, the Palestinian territories, but under the ceasefire [Israel] continues bombing Lebanon. It has invaded Syria, where they kill every day. And all this under the curtain of the United States, which places a veil over the reality of what is happening currently,” the protester said. Former Chilean ambassador to Jordan, Iraq and Egypt, Nelson Hadad, criticised ongoing Israeli operations in Gaza and warned of a deepening humanitarian crisis. “The occupation of Gaza by the Israeli Armed Forces continues. Yes, Israel continues restricting the entry of humanitarian aid; 600 trucks should go out daily, and only 150 trucks go out, so what is called using hunger as a weapon of war continues, which is part of the definition of genocide,” he said. Demonstrations marking the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People were also held in cities across the country and in multiple regions worldwide."
