Observers and organizers say that Jakarta's Monas Square is packed with people in the morning. At least two million people participated in this protest. Several videos of the protest have gone viral on social media.
According to the Straits Times report, Indonesians took part in the rally wearing mainly white clothing and the black-and-white kufiyah, a symbol of the Palestinian independence movement.

A huge stage was built in Monas Square and National Monument Square. In addition, large TV screens were installed throughout the protest-meeting area. Those screens show scenes of indiscriminate and barbaric attacks by Israel and the killing of Palestinians in Gaza.
Muslim leaders of the country addressed the rally. They called for an immediate end to attacks on Gaza, an investigation into Israel's war crimes in Palestine, and a boycott of Israeli goods.
