BAGHDAD / Aswat al-Iraq: The Sadrist Movement, or Iraqis loyal to Shiite Cleric Moqtada al-Sadr, on Monday organized a demonstration at al-Mustansiriya Square, eastern Baghdad, condemning the Israeli military operation in the Gaza Strip.
“The Zionist entity has presented the ugliest images of terrorism against the Palestinians,” Abdelhadi al-Mohammedawi, a prominent figure in the Sadrist Movement, said in a speech during the demonstration.
“Today, Israel is committing an ugly crime against unarmed civilians in Gaza,” he added.
Addressing the Palestinian people, al-Mohammedawi said “You should all know that Israel will be annihilated as long as there are Muslims who work for the unity of their peoples.”
