Paris Olympics, Gaza and Palestine Defense Field’
The issue of Palestine, as one of the most complex issues in West Asia, continues to attract the attention of international circles and is accompanied by a wave of widespread sympathy from the people. People continue to emphasize the need to establish peace and live with dignity in the Palestinian land and condemn the aggression of the Zionist regime on the Gaza Strip. The repetition of the scenes of genocide of the people of Gaza by the forces of the Zionist army arouses a wave of anger and global condemnation and condemns the crimes committed against Palestinian civilians.
One of the most obvious recent examples in the international dimension was the expression of people’s sympathy with the issue of Palestine and Gaza at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games and at the opening ceremony when they condemned the invasion and siege of the Zionist regime against Gaza. The fans welcomed the Palestinian sports caravan at the airport and chanted “Long live Palestine” during the opening ceremony, which expressed their support and solidarity with the Palestinian people.
During the Israeli national anthem playing in the team’s football match with Paraguay on the group stage of the Olympic football, the audience sang the Palestinian national anthem. During the meeting of the Mali football team with the Zionist regime, Palestinian supporters also waved Palestinian flags on the stands of Parc du Prince Stadium. Chanting the slogan for the Palestinian convoy was an expression of sports support and a political and humanitarian message showing global sympathy for the Palestinian cause.
On the other hand, the sports caravan of the Zionist regime was booed when it passed in front of the people, which shows the widespread disgust of the people of the world for the crimes of the Zionist regime in Palestine, especially in Gaza. Even some Palestinian supporters, in a symbolic act, lower the flag of the Zionist regime and raise it against the occupation regime’s policies
Support for Palestinians is not only limited to public circles and gatherings, artists and political figures also showed their firm support for the Palestinian cause with their statements or initiatives.
