In Karachi, protesters carrying Palestinian flags and banners plastered with images of Al-Aqsa Mosque and leaders of Palestinian resistance movement, Hamas, marched on the city’s main roads.
Amid slogans of "death to Israel", and "death to America", speakers denounced Washington’s peace plan for the conflict, the so-called "deal of the century", describing it as a move to legitimise the Israeli occupation of Palestinian land, particularly Jerusalem.
In Islamabad, hundreds of protesters, including women and children, waved Palestinian flags and chanted anti-Israel slogans while marching from the city's business district to an area near the Parliament House.
In Lahore, the country’s second largest city, protesters marched on The Mall Road demanding that the international community, mainly the UN, work to stop Israeli atrocities against Palestinians.
Al-Quds is an annual event observed on the last Friday of the holy month of Ramazan across the globe to express solidarity with Palestinians.
