Part 10/14:
Egypt has enacted severe measures against international activists attempting to march toward Gaza in protest of ongoing hostilities. The attempt to form a "resistance convoy" — a multinational group seeking to show solidarity — unraveled as Egyptian security forces detained hundreds, confiscated passports, and dispersed crowds.
The crackdown came amid concerns that such protests could destabilize Egypt's Sinai Peninsula and escalate regional tensions. Footage shows clashes between protesters and plainclothes security personnel, with some demonstrators throwing water bottles in defiance. Prominent figures, including Irish and Turkish parliamentarians, as well as a former U.S. diplomat, were detained, with reports of injuries.
