The song in the video is an Arabic cover of the popular pro-Palestine song called "Leve Palestina Long Live Palestine" by Kofia which compliments the post very well.
This is not the first time pro-Palestine activists took to the streets in protest of the ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza as several people worldwide including countries such as the United Kingdom, Jordan, Egypt, Indonesia and more have not been silent on the matter till now. Especially in Jordan as the country has seen its fair share of protests in its downtown area, next to both the Israeli and US Embassy, and more every week.
According to Al Jazeera, hundreds of thousands of citizens marched into Central London streets demanding a permanent ceasefire making it the biggest Palestinian protest in UK history!

Hamas announced on Oct. 7 a military operation called "Al-Aqsa Flood" against Israel making it the biggest offensive by the group in decades.
Palestinian fighters “infiltrated” Israel from the Gaza Strip, captured military bases and took hostages as photos and videos went viral online showing Hamas fighters on vehicles inside Israel while others were seen paragliding into occupation territory.
In response, Israeli armed forces announced targeting Hamas positions inside the Gaza Strip. Thousands were killed, and dozens of thousands of others were injured in the Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip.
Since October 7, more than 25,105 have been killed by Israeli airstrikes across the besieged strip, more than half of whom are women and children, the Ministry of Health reported. Additionally, 62,681 Gazans have been injured, with injuries varying between mild and severe.
