Muslims have observed Quds Day — Arabic for Jerusalem Day — across many countries to express solidarity with the Palestinians and condemn Israeli carnage in Gaza that many experts say plausibly amounts to genocide.
People in many countries, including the US, Yemen, Iraq, Lebanon, Iran, Pakistan, India, Syria and others, took out rallies to mark the annual event which falls on the last Friday of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
