Why are Palestinians protesting?

Asked 1 hour ago

Answer

Palestinians are protesting due to forced displacement from their homes in the West Bank, ongoing military raids, increased settler violence, and lack of solutions for demolished homes. Many remain displaced, facing harsh conditions and demanding justice and the right to return. In Gaza, despite a ceasefire, residents protest ongoing destruction, restricted access, and fear of renewed conflict, with many unable to safely return to their homes or rebuild their lives.
