Pro-Palestinian March In Support Of Global March To Gaza In Tunis
A young pro-Palestinian woman holds a sign reading 'banned flags, bombed homes, but the watermelon still stands' while shouting slogans during a march organized by civil society, feminist, and human rights organizations, including Amnesty International and the Tunisian League of Human Rights (LTDH), in Tunis, Tunisia, on June 15, 2025. The march brings together dozens of pro-Palestinian demonstrators in support of the international movements, the Global March to Gaza and the Maghreb Resilience Convoy. These humanitarian movements aim to head towards the Rafah border crossing in Egypt to lift the blockade of Gaza amid Israel's ongoing war in the enclave. Demonstrators also call for the criminalization of all normalization of relations with Israel while expressing support for the Palestinian resistance. The Global March to Gaza is a civilian-led international initiative, scheduled to begin on June 15, 2025, aiming to march from Arish, Egypt, to the Rafah border crossing with the Gaza Strip in Palestine. Two days earlier, hundreds of participants in the Global March to Gaza arriving in Cairo have their passports taken at a checkpoint and have been detained and deported to their home countries in Europe and North Africa.
