Posted on December 27 by pro-Israel account VividProwess, the video gained over 15,000 likes and thousands of replies labeling the act unhinged, with jokes about stereotypes and mental health stats from Pew Research showing 40% of white liberal women aged 30-49 with prior diagnoses. The protest draws from 'cacerolazo' traditions—Latin American pot-banging to symbolize hunger—revived in 2025 for Gaza's famine warnings, seen in London, Philadelphia, and recent UK actions like a Manchester mall flag display. While critics call it performative, supporters frame it as solidarity amid the Israel-Hamas war's third year and aid-reported food shortages.

The summons followed Fidan's February 9 interview where he urged Iraq to tackle PKK presence in areas like Sinjar, Makhmour, and Qandil mountains, warning it threatens Baghdad's security.
