Three days before Israel assassinated him during a visit to the Iranian capital of Tehran, Haniyeh called on all Arab, Muslim and world nations to the streets in solidarity with the people of Gaza under Israeli bombardment and Palestinian captives in Israeli prisons. Protesters waved Turkish and Palestinian flags, carried keffiyehs while chanting slogans advocating for Palestinian freedom.
The Free Jerusalem Platform and the Prophet Loved Ones Foundation had organised a separate march from Beyazıt Square to Ayasofya Square. During this march, posters of Haniyeh were prominently displayed.
