Protests erupted in the West Bank, Jordan, and Lebanon in response to Israel’s airstrike on Baptist Hospital in Gaza, which resulted in at least 500 casualties. Palestinians in the West Bank cities of Ramallah, Nablus, and Jenin demonstrated against the hospital attack and expressed dissatisfaction with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
Lebanese Palestinians living in refugee camps joined in, calling for accountability for Israel’s actions and international intervention to halt Israeli aggression in Gaza. In Jordan, demonstrators gathered outside the Israeli Embassy in Amman, protesting Israel’s Gaza attacks and US President Joe Biden’s visit.
