Pakatan Harapan held a protest in solidarity with Palestinians in front of the United States Embassy in Kuala Lumpur today.
This came as a response to US President Donald Trump's decision last week, acknowledging Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
The gathering began at 2pm in front of the Tabung Haji towers before the protesters began to march towards the US Embassy on Jalan Tun Razak.
Seen at the march were former prime minister and Harapan chairperson Dr Mahathir Mohamad and his wife Dr Siti Hasmah Mohamad Ali.
Bersatu president Muhyiddin Yassin, Amanah president Mohamad Sabu, PKR president Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, Amanah deputy president Salahuddin Ayub and Bersih chairperson Maria Chin Abdullah were also present at the gathering.
An estimated 500 people took part in the gathering, which was monitored by security personnel.
The protesters were seen carrying placards reading "Bebas Palestin" (Free Palestine) and "Hancur penjajahan Tanah Palestin" (End the colonisation of Palestinian land) during their march.
