Civil, political and popular forces continued their demonstration on Habib Bourguiba Avenue in Tunis on Wednesday to protest against the massacre perpetrated by the Zionist entity in al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza on Tuesday. Thousands of protesters of all ages and social backgrounds gathered in front of the Municipal Theatre and along Habib Bourguiba Avenue in Tunis to denounce the crimes committed by the Israeli occupation. The Tunisian and Palestinian flags fluttered along the avenue in solidarity with Palestine and in protest against the massacres and crimes committed by the Zionist entity. The demonstrators chanted anti-Zionist slogans and demanded the expulsion of the French ambassador. Participants in the march also condemned the position of the Western countries, especially France, the United Kingdom and the United States, in support of the Israeli occupation. They condemned these countries’ support for the Zionist entity, which seeks to annihilate the Palestinian people and pursues a policy aimed at deceiving international public opinion. Secretary-General of the Tunisian General Labour Union (UGTT), Noureddine Taboubi, stated that “Tunisia’s position is honourable compared to other Arab countries, which approach the Palestinian cause with great caution”. Scuffles broke out between the demonstrators and the police, who were securing all the entrances to the French embassy. They were prevented from crossing the barriers along these access routes.
