South Africa will continue to campaign for independence of Palestine under 2-state solution, says government official.

Istanbul, MINA – Hundreds of thousands of people gathered on Istanbul’s Galata Bridge on New Year’s Day to express solidarity with Palestine, Anadolu Agency reported.

Participants marched from mosques across the historic peninsula and beyond after morning prayers, carrying Turkish and Palestinian flags. The event was organized by the National Will Platform, a coalition of 308 NGOs.

The demonstrators prayed for an end to Israel’s massacre of Palestinians before gathering on the bridge, which spans the iconic Golden Horn, to demand international action against the ongoing atrocities.

In the middle of the bridge, where tight security measures were in place, a large banner read: “Stop the Genocide in Gaza” in Turkish and English, along with Turkish and Palestinian flags.
