No let-up in mass anti-Israel demonstrations in Pakistan

This is a massive public outpouring in Peshawar, the regional capital of Pakistan’s northwestern province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Anger is boiling over Israel’s atrocities during the 11-day conflict, which the United Nations said could amount to war crimes.
Pakistanis are particularly furious over Israeli troops’ desecration of al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem al-Quds. Similar protests have also been held in major cities against Israel’s plans to evict Palestinians from their homes in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood in East Jerusalem al-Quds.
The ongoing protests are mounting increasing pressure on the Pakistani government to help Palestinians militarily to prevent another Israeli aggression.
Pakistan has backed Turkey’s demand to set up an international protection mechanism as a deterrence against a renewed act of Israeli aggression. Although the scope and reach of such a mechanism are yet to be established, analysts believe some non-Arab states could form a joint military coalition in a not-so-distant future.
More mass anti-Israel protests are expected in the coming weeks and months, as different opposition parties are planning demonstrations across Pakistan.
