Hamas’s Former Chief Khaled Meshaal is calling for a global day of protest and anger on Friday, Oct. 13, as the Israel-Hamas war intensifies. Meshaal is calling on Muslims across the world to protest in support of Palestine and asking Muslims in the neighboring countries of Jordan, Syria, Lebanon and Egypt to join the fight against Israel.

In a recorded statement sent to Reuters, Meshaal says he is calling for angry protests.
“Head to the squares and streets of the Arab and Islamic world on Friday, the Friday of Al Aqsa flood,” Meshaal said.
Meshaal’s call comes after Israel vowed to ramp up its counterattack efforts in response to Hamas with a ground offensive.
Israel intensified airstrikes on Gaza overnight Wednesday, Oct. 11, striking more than 200 targets.
According to Gaza’s Health Ministry, as of the morning of Thursday, Oct. 12, more than 1,300 Palestinians have been killed, and more than 6,000 have been injured in the coastal enclave since Hamas terrorists first unleashed a brutal attack against Israel on Saturday, Oct. 7.
Israel’s military confirmed Hamas killed more than 1,200 people, including at least 25 Americans, and wounded more than 2,800 others.
Now, the Israeli Defense Force is preparing for a ground invasion in Gaza. In response, Meshaal is calling on people of the Islamic world to take action.
“To all scholars who teach jihad for the sake of God and who preach the fighters and martyrs, to all who teach and learn, this is a moment for the application (of theories), so that are words are not just words,” Meshaal said.
This would not be Hamas’ first day of rage. In 2017 protests erupted on the Gaza Strip when then-President Donald Trump declared Jerusalem the capital of Israel.
National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby was asked about how the law enforcement officials were preparing for the possibility of protests erupting here at home. Kirby said his team is constantly in touch with local, state and federal law enforcement officials to remain vigilant against terror threats.
The State Department is warning Americans to not travel to Israel, the West Bank or Gaza due to terrorism and civil unrest.
