Participants in the demonstration called by the Indonesian People's Alliance to Support Palestine raised slogans demanding the lifting of the siege on the Gaza Strip, the entry of humanitarian aid and an end to the war.

The Indonesian capital, Jakarta, witnessed massive demonstrations denouncing the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip and demanding a ceasefire. The American capital, Washington, also witnessed the largest demonstration in its history to demand an end to the Israeli war on Gaza.

Government ministers, party leaders, parliamentarians and leaders of Indonesian Islamic organizations participated in the demonstration.

The organizers estimated the number of participants in the demonstration at more than one million people, noting that Indonesia had witnessed many demonstrations in support of Gaza and denouncing the Israeli war on it during the past weeks.

Subianto revealed that the Indonesian government plans to coordinate with countries neighboring the Gaza Strip, including Egypt, to obtain approval to send the medical ship.

He said during his visit to the Halim Perdana Kusuma Air Base in Jakarta, yesterday, Saturday, "The Indonesian Defense Forces are ready to send a medical ship, and will be ready there to provide more assistance."

The popular movement in support of Gaza is escalating around the world, as thousands participated in a massive demonstration in the American capital, Washington, to demand an end to the Israeli war on Gaza, denouncing the policies supporting Israel and the role of President Joe Biden, whom demonstrators described as “an accomplice in genocide.”

According to what was reported by Agence France-Presse, this demonstration is the largest demonstration in the American capital since the start of the war on Gaza. Many supporters spent long hours arriving in Washington to participate.
