Hundreds of people gathered in Kuala Lumpur to hold a pro-Palestinian protest during the visit of US President Donald Trump.
Protest in Malaysia Over Trump Visit
Demonstrators marched through the streets, waving Palestinian flags and chanting slogans demanding justice for Gaza. They accuse Trump of supporting Israel’s actions, calling it complicity in what they describe as genocide. The rally began outside the US embassy, where protesters held banners condemning US policy in the Middle East.
Many participants wore traditional Palestinian scarves, symbolizing unity with the people of Gaza.
Police maintained a strong presence to ensure the demonstration remained peaceful.
Calls for Global Accountability
Protest organizers said the gathering aimed to send a clear message to Washington. They urged world leaders to take a firm stance against violence in Gaza. In addition, speakers at the rally accused the US of ignoring human rights violations. One participant said, “We are here to demand justice and an end to the suffering in Gaza.”
Another added that the visit “insults the conscience of peace-loving people everywhere.” The crowd dispersed peacefully after several hours of speeches and chants. Malaysian rights groups and political parties also voiced support for the protest. They urged the international community to pressure Israel into halting its attacks.
As a result, the event became one of the largest public demonstrations in Malaysia this month. The protest highlights growing anger in Southeast Asia over the Gaza conflict. It also underscores widespread frustration with US foreign policy in the region. For many, the march was not only about politics but also about humanity and solidarity.
