"I don't have enough words to thank you and to thank all the people who are going to the streets and being in the streets for a long time and are making every effort to support the people in Gaza and to support Palestine and trying to stop this brutal genocide."
"I think Israel have taken off their mask and are showing their real face, and we are, as human beings showing our true humanity and our determination to stop this crime and to all be united, all of humanity to be united to stop this crime."
