Protests Erupt Worldwide Following Deadly Hospital Bombing in Gaza

Hundreds of Lebanese protesters, some waving Palestinian flags, gathered outside the US embassy in Beirut to show support for the Jewish state in its conflict with Hamas. Police used tear gas to disperse the demonstrators, and one protester scaled a barbed-wire fence to plant a Palestinian flag on the embassy's flagpole. Similar protests also took place at the French embassy. The demonstrations came after a deadly explosion at a Gaza City hospital, with Hezbollah calling for "a day of unprecedented anger" in Beirut. President Biden postponed his planned visit to Jordan in light of the Gaza City attack.

"Clashes and Protests in Tel Aviv: Anti-Government Demonstrations and Judicial Reform Pressure"

Anti-government protesters clashed with each other during a demonstration in Tel Aviv, with one group allegedly pepper-spraying the other. The altercation occurred during a rally against the government's plan to overhaul the judiciary, which critics argue will undermine democracy. The clash was sparked by the unfurling of a banner condemning settler terrorism and the raising of Palestinian flags. The Brothers in Arms group, a military reservist organization leading the protests, stated that its members were sprayed with pepper spray by a protester waving a Palestinian flag. The group later issued a conciliatory statement, emphasizing their shared goal of opposing the government's actions.
