List of countries supporting Palestine

The Israeli aggression following the October 7 attacks by Hamas is raging with every passing day and so far over 9,000 Palestinians have been martyred in the Zionist aggression.

United States, France, Canada, European Union, United Kingdom, Germany, Australia and other countries are supporting Israel and providing arms and ammunition while there are many countries supporting Palestine too but the majority of them with mere slogans.

Iran: Though Iran has rejected allegations of its involvement in helping Hamas to organise attack on Israel, the country’s top authority Ayatollah Ali Khamenei hailed what he called Israel’s “irreparable” military and intelligence defeat. In his first televised speech since the attack, Khamenei said “we kiss the hands of those who planned the attack on the Zionist regime.” Reacting to the attack on Israel, Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi said that his country “supports the legitimate defence of the Palestinian nation,” after phone talks with Palestinian militant leaders.

Russia: Moscow has strongly condemned the Israeli aggression and warned the Zionist regime and the United States from grave rights violations in Palestine. The Israeli aggression could set the Middle East on fire, the statement added.

China: Beijing has been supporting Palestine and demanding to stop the Israeli aggression and has also vetoed the US resolution on the conflict only condemning Hamas, China’s first statement on the conflict angered Israel which expressed “deep disappointment” that China did not condemn Hamas nor mention Israel’s right to defend itself.

Pakistan: Islamabad had also been advocating the right to self-determination of the Palestine people and has condemned the Israeli aggression. Pakistan’s Foreign Office, Envoy to UN, COAS, Prime Minister and President have strongly condemned the aggression. Pakistan has also sent relief goods for the people of Gaza.

Afghanistan: Issuing a statement, the Afghanistan Ministry of Foreign Affairs said, “The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan affirms its support and for the establishment of an independent Palestinian state on its historical lands, which is a legitimate, historical and legal right of the Palestinian people to defend the independence of the country, and appeals to Islamic countries and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation.” It further added, “The international community, especially those countries that have a clear influence in the region, must stand up to the Israeli aggression against the innocent Palestinian people and cooperate to resolve the Palestinian issue on the basis of granting legitimate rights to the Palestinians.”

Saudi Arabia: Saudi Arabia called for an immediate halt to the escalation between the two sides, the protection of civilians, and restraint. In its statement, it also recalled its repeated warnings of the dangers of the explosion of a situation as a result of the continued occupation, deprivation of the Palestinian people of their legitimate rights and the repetition of systematic provocations against its sanctities.

Iraq: Iraqi armed groups aligned with Iran have threatened to target US interests with missiles and drones if Washington intervenes to support Israel in its conflict with Hamas in Gaza. Badr Organization comprises a large part of Iraq’s Popular Mobilisation Forces (PMF), the state paramilitary organisation that contains many Iran-backed factions.

Yemen: Yemen’s Houthi leader Abdel-Malek al-Houthi said that if the US intervenes in the Gaza conflict directly, the group will respond by firing drones and missiles, and take other military options. “There are red lines when it comes to Gaza,” he said, adding that the Houthis were ready to coordinate with other groups and intervene.

North Korea: Seoul is also supporting Palestine in the Hamas-Israel war and according to South Korea’s spy agency, it is planning to provide “assistance” to Hamas in its war against Israel.

The National Intelligence Service (NIS) told the parliamentary intelligence committee during a closed-door audit session that there have been signs that North Korean leader Kim Jong-un ordered officials to come up with measures to provide comprehensive assistance to Palestine, Seoul-based Yonhap News reported, citing Yoo Sang-bum, a lawmaker from the ruling People Power Party.

“North Korea appears to be trying to take advantage of the Israel-Hamas war in multiple ways,” Yoo was cited as saying.

Qatar: Qatar in a statement has held Israel solely responsible for the ongoing escalation due to its ongoing violations of the rights of the Palestinian people, the latest of which was the repeated incursions into Al-Aqsa Mosque under the protection of the Israeli police.

Lebanon: The Iran-backed Lebanese group Hezbollah, an arch foe of Israel, said it was in “direct contact with the leadership of the Palestinian resistance” and described events as a “decisive response to Israel’s continued occupation and a message to those seeking normalisation with Israel.”
