Across the Arab world, from Jordan to Morocco and Egypt, widespread protests have erupted in solidarity with Gaza amid the ongoing conflict. In Jordan, thousands chanted "Gaza is starving!" against Arab rulers' inaction, while in Morocco, demonstrations in cities like Casablanca, with Moroccan women showing support for Palestinian women, and Tangier, highlighted the public's support for Gaza. Egypt witnessed its largest Ramadan Iftar gathering in Cairo, which spontaneously turned into a protest for Palestine, cleverly circumventing government restrictions on demonstrations. These protests are part of a broader wave of unrest, with citizens across these nations expressing their frustration and calling for an end to the conflict in Gaza. Opinion pieces, like those by Ghada Alhaddad in the Middle East Eye, highlight the dire situation in Gaza, where the spirit of Ramadan is overshadowed by grief and loss. The phrase "No peace, no submission. Resistance go forward." echoes the sentiment of hundreds of pro-Palestine protesters rallying across Morocco.
