Participants carry Palestinian and Malaysian flags, while organisers give out white roses in memory of Iranian supreme leader Ali Khamenei.
The rally, which began at 2pm, was organised by the Secretariat of Palestine Malaysia and drew activists, politicians, students and members of the public.
The participants carried Palestinian and Malaysian flags, as well as white roses handed out by the organisers to honour the death of Iranian supreme leader Ali Khamenei.
The rally was held largely outside the embassy, but also saw short marches in the surrounding streets.
Speaking to the crowd, activist Hishamuddin Rais thanked the participants, and pledged continued support for Palestine.
He claimed that about 2,000 people attended, though police estimated the turnout at only 300.
Other speakers, including Amanah president Mohamad Sabu and former PKR vice-president Tian Chua, highlighted solidarity with oppressed peoples worldwide and criticised the actions of the US and Israel.
The rally also served as a platform for raising awareness about regional conflicts beyond Palestine, with references to ongoing tensions in Iran, Yemen, and other parts of the world.
The organisers said the goal was to maintain public attention on humanitarian issues and promote peaceful advocacy.
The participants dispersed peacefully at about 4.15pm. - FMT
