Thousands of activists from the Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) party arcontinue indefinite sit-in protest at the Faizabad Interchange in Islamabad on Monday. Organizers are demanding the government deliver aid to Palestine, announce a boycott of Israeli products, and declare Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a terrorist. The action has resulted in significant disruptions to inter-city traffic to and from Islamabad and has prompted security deployment.
Traffic restrictions including road closures and diversions are affecting multiple routes like Grand Trunk, IJP, and Muree roads, as well as Rawat T-Chowk and Rawal Dam Chowk intersections. Security checkpoints and cordons around key government and diplomatic buildings in the Red Zone cannot be ruled out; heightened security is especially likely near the US embassy.
