Demonstrators in Dublin denounced the US partnership in what they called “Israel’s genocide” in Gaza, Anadolu Agency reports.

Timed to coincide with US July 4th Independence Day celebrations, the protest targeted a gala event hosted by the American Chamber of Commerce at a hotel in the Irish capital.

The gala was attended by Simon Harris, the Irish prime minister.

Organized by the Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign, the demonstration outside the hotel saw protesters carrying signs with messages such as “War Criminals,” “Free Palestine,” and “10 Children Lose Their Legs Each Day.”
