On March 31, 2025, thousands of residents in Kharga Oasis, New Valley, Egypt, held peaceful protests expressing solidarity with Palestinians and support for President al-Sisi's government. The demonstration was reportedly part of a broader, likely government-organized movement following Eid prayers.
