Thousands march in Turkiye’s Istanbul in solidarity with Gaza
Thousands of protesters have marched through the Turkish city of Istanbul in support of Gaza. A demonstration in support of Gaza also took place last year, organised by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s son, Bilal Erdogan.
Sinem Koseoglu, Al Jazeera’s Turkiye correspondent reporting from Istanbul, said football clubs have also been calling on their supporters to join the demonstrations.
She added that Palestine is an issue that draws support across the country’s political spectrum, from the ruling AK Party to major opposition parties. “Today people are trying to show their support on the very first day of the new year,” she said.
