During parliamentary proceedings in Kenya, an MP, Farah Maalim, was instructed to remove a traditional Palestinian scarf he was wearing.

He had donned the scarf in a show of solidarity with the Palestinians in Gaza amid the conflict between Israel and Hamas.

The speaker of the National Assembly ordered the MP to remove the scarf, citing a violation of parliamentary rules.

Other MPs also criticized him for not following the House rules.

This incident occurred shortly after Kenyan police briefly detained three individuals for their participation in a pro-Palestinian gathering in Nairobi.

President William Ruto has expressed full government support for Israel in the ongoing conflict.
