In Tunisia, since the Hamas attack and the Israeli response, support has been overwhelmingly pro-Palestinian, accentuated by the position of President Kaïs Saïed who announced on Monday that he wanted to provide Tunisian aid via the transfer of wounded Palestinians to Tunisia. He announced his unconditional and total support for the Palestinians in a statement on October 7, published a few hours after the Hamas attack. Today, Tunisians are closely following the war and expressing their solidarity with the Palestinians through peaceful demonstrations.
