Iraqis follow the events of the Israeli aggression in Palestine, especially the attack on the Gaza Strip, to a large extent, as the communication sites have been busy covering the events and shouting outcry and condemnation of this aggression.
Activists called for the protests to be transferred to the Iraqi-Jordanian borders, to demand that they be allowed to enter Palestine.
Activist Dergham Majed said in a video clip he posted on his Facebook account, that the protesters have completed their preparations to transfer their peaceful protest to the border between Iraq and Jordan.
Majed explained that the protesters in Iraq launched the "Iraqi National Step" campaign, which aims to transfer the protests to the Jordanian borders and from there to the Palestinian borders, in solidarity with the Palestinian people in their just cause.
The head of the Iraqi Journalists Syndicate, Moayad Al-Lami, said, "Iraq will remain in all its greatness and pride and will not abandon its brothers in Palestine despite all of its wounds," calling on God to protect the people of Gaza and all of Palestine from "systematic death."
Iraq will remain in all its greatness and pride and will not abandon its brothers in Palestine despite all of its surgeries. Oh God, protect our people in Gaza and all of Palestine from systematic death because they have no helper after the parents, guardians, and peers abandoned them.

As for the Iraqi novelist Ahmed Saadawi, he wrote on Twitter, "The survival of something called the Palestinian cause while we are in the third millennium is a shame on the forehead of humanity, international organizations and great countries that boast of human rights and universal values."
The survival of something called the "Palestinian cause" while we are in the third millennium is a shame for humanity, international organizations, and great countries that boast of human rights and universal values.
A cause that crushes the Palestinian people under the weight of the occupation machine and is trafficked by those who claim to have adopted it.
