Thousands rally in Pakistan amid global protests over Israel’s interception of Gaza aid flotilla

KARACHI: Thousands of people staged pro-Palestine demonstrations after the Friday prayer congregations across Pakistan, joining global protests against Israel’s seizure of an aid flotilla with high-profile international rights activists and a former Pakistani senator attempting to breach the blockade of Gaza. The rallies were held on the call of a prominent religio-political party, Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) over the interception of the Global Sumud Flotilla, which set sail in late August and was transporting medicine and food to the besieged Palestinians in Gaza.
