Coordinated protests took place along Line 2 of Toronto's subway system, with demonstrations at thirteen stations calling for a complete arms embargo on Israel. These protests included various activities such as chanting, drumming, and the use of symbolic imagery, with police presence managing the events. The protests coincided with other demonstrations in Toronto, including a pro-Israel rally near the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario annual meeting and gatherings outside the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) Lightbox, where tensions between pro-Palestine and pro-Israel groups were evident. Internationally, solidarity protests with Gaza were held in multiple cities, including Sanaa in Yemen, Brussels in Belgium, and Lod in the Palestinian occupied territories. Additional demonstrations occurred in the Netherlands, Britain, Norway, and Malaysia, demanding an end to Israel's war on Gaza and calling for a halt to arms supplies to Israel. In the United States, thousands rallied at the "Stop Starving Gaza" protest on the steps of the New York Public Library near Bryant Park in New York City.
