Thousands of Palestinian refugees from Syria have joined rallies held across European cities, including Stockholm, to voice their firm rejection of the surge in violence by Israeli forces in occupied Jerusalem.
Across war-torn Syria, hundreds of Palestinian refugees sheltered in displacement camps in the ravaged country have also joined protests held in solidarity with residents of occupied east Jerusalem neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah and worshipers at AlAqsa Mosque.
Similar protests have seen the day in Amman, Istanbul, Vienna, Copenhagen, Malmo, Helsinbury, Berlin, Amsterdam, London, and Athens, among other metropolitan cities.
Palestinian refugees and activists who joined the rallies held the Israeli occupation authorities accountable for the ethnic cleansing and forcible transfer of Palestinians from their homes in Jerusalem, calling on the international community to urgently step in and hold Israel to account.
In one incident, last Friday, Israeli police injured more than 200 Palestinians, after authorities cracked down while Palestinians worshippers gathered for prayers at Al-Aqsa mosque in East Jerusalem during Ramadan, the holiest month of the year for Muslims, Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported. Many of the worshippers stayed on after prayers to protest in support of Palestinians currently facing evictions at the hands of Israeli settlers.
