'They'll finally live without fear and pain': Hundreds rally in support of Palestine in Seoul after Gaza ceasefire takes effect
Hundreds of activists marched through the streets of Seoul on Sunday to express solidarity with Palestine, after the ceasefire in Gaza took effect on Friday.
Footage shows demonstrators marching with signs, Palestinian flags, and a banner reading 'Israel out of Gaza! Solidarity with Palestinians!' Protesters later staged a sit-in outside Open Songhyeon Green Plaza to hear speeches from Palestinians living in South Korea.
"I just want the genocide to stop. I just want Israel to let Palestine live in peace, and the United States to stop making wars in other countries," shared a protester.
Activists from overseas also attended the rally, voicing their constant support for Palestine for the past two years.
It comes after the Gaza ceasefire went into force on Friday, as Israeli forces started withdrawing from parts of Gaza.
On September 29, Trump unveiled his 20-point Gaza plan alongside Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu. The plan itself would see an immediate end to fighting, with the release of all captives alive or dead within 72 hours, as well as 250 Palestinians serving life sentences and 1,700 Gazans who were detained after October 7.
Hamas conditionally accepted the US-brokered plan, offering to release Israeli captives through Qatari and Egyptian mediators if Israel agrees to a lasting peace and full withdrawal.
Trump welcomed the response, describing it as a 'very special' moment and 'unprecedented in many ways'.
