JERUSALEM — Tens of thousands of Muslims demonstrated Friday across the Middle East in support of the Palestinians and against Israeli airstrikes pounding Gaza, underscoring the risk of a wider regional conflict erupting as Israel prepares for a possible ground invasion in the coastal strip. From Amman, Jordan, to Yemen's capital of Sanaa, Muslims poured out onto the streets after weekly Friday prayers.
The Palestinian Red Crescent said its medics treated six wounded people, with at least one beaten up by officers, the organization said. In Baghdad, tens of thousands gathered in Tahrir Square in the center of Iraq's capital for protests called by the influential Shiite cleric and political leader Muqtada al-Sadr. “May this demonstration ... terrify the great evil, America, which supports Zionist terrorism against our loved ones in Palestine,” al-Sadr said in an online statement.
