A coordinated network of organizations orchestrated global protests against Israel, preparing slogans, banners, disruption plans, and a unified media strategy, according to a Fox News investigation. The probe uncovered planning documents for a worldwide protest day involving groups from dozens of countries.
One key coalition partner, CodePink, received substantial funding from American businessman Neville Roy Singham, who resides in China. Singham's network of organizations is under U.S. Congressional scrutiny for alleged ties to the Chinese Communist Party. The coalition reportedly includes 179 organizations, with 322 protest events planned over three days, according to an interactive map released by the organizers.
International groups like the "Global Alliance for Palestine," founded in London in July 2025, led the protests. Its steering committee includes former British Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, former Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis, and former Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams.
The planning documents revealed that organizers aimed for more than just street demonstrations, instructing participants to "occupy city squares," "surround government buildings," and block business centers of companies allegedly aiding Israel. The materials emphasized that "this is not a symbolic march or a routine demonstration," and recommended workplace and university strikes, blockades, sit-ins, and media-savvy actions.
An identical information kit was distributed, featuring banners in seven languages, pre-written slogans, and social media templates. One suggested slogan accused "Israel of killing, the media of justifying." Some banners, including one depicting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in handcuffs with a noose, were seen at a Friday protest in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
The investigation highlighted that CodePink received $1.33 million from Singham, who has channeled $278 million to various non-profit organizations. Some of these are being investigated by the U.S. House Ways and Means Committee for allegedly promoting the interests of the Chinese Communist Party and other foreign entities. Singham is married to Jodie Evans, a CodePink co-founder, who confirmed her husband supports the organization's activities. However, the report does not prove direct funding or management by the Chinese government, and the investigated organizations deny wrongdoing.
The coalition's documents stated the protest's goal was to bring demonstrators to the streets, reinsert the Gaza war into global media coverage, and transform local protests into sustained political pressure. Organizers called for contacting elected officials, issuing press releases, and promoting demands for an arms embargo and sanctions against Israel.
