Uruguayan organizations united to show their support for Palestine in a march held in front of the Montevideo City Hall.

The demonstrators demanded the severance of ties with Israel until the alleged genocide against Palestinians ceases.
During the march, a proclamation was shared, emphasizing resilience in face of adversity, and echoing sentiments such as, “We resist, because we are olive tree and root, because the wind whispers Palestine and there is no exile that erases the return,” stated the trade union central PIT-CNT on social media.
The Coordinator for Palestine also expressed strong sentiments against oppression, demanding an end to “colonialism, genocide and apartheid!” Former substitute deputy Christian Mirza from the Popular Participation Movement of the Broad Front expressed hope that the new government under Yamandu Orsi would adopt a supportive stance towards Palestine, rather than maintaining neutrality, underscoring the importance of backing the Palestinian cause.
