Dublin—Nearly 1,000 demonstrators marched to the U.S. Embassy to protest President Donald Trump’s policies, focusing on his controversial proposal for Gaza.
Nearly 1,000 demonstrators marched to the U.S. Embassy in Ireland's capital, Dublin, to protest against U.S. President Donald Trump and the actions he has taken in the early weeks of his presidency.
The peaceful protest centered on the situation in Gaza, with demonstrators chanting and carrying banners demanding “Freedom and justice for Palestine.”
In a shocking announcement on February 4, following a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Washington, Trump proposed resettling Gaza’s 2.2 million Palestinians. He also suggested that the U.S. take control of the territory and redevelop it into the "Riviera of the Middle East."
Trump’s proposal for Palestinian displacement has been widely condemned. Gaza residents and Arab states have repeatedly rejected it, while rights advocates and the United Nations have labeled it an act of ethnic cleansing.
