Thousands of supporters of Pakistan's Jamaat-e-Islami party are expected to participate in a 'Gaza Solidarity March' in Karachi to protest Israel's military offensives in the Palestinian territory. The march comes after the party held demonstrations in other cities to condemn Israel's bombardment of Gaza and call for an end to the violence. The JI has also announced a protest march to the US Embassy in Islamabad. Pakistan, which does not have diplomatic relations with Israel, has consistently criticized the Jewish state's actions and called for a two-state solution.
