Thousands join pro-Palestinian march in central London
Thousands of pro-Palestinian protesters marched through central London on Saturday to call for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, Reuters reported.
The protest is the most recent in a series of weekend demonstrations in the capital since the beginning of the attacks seven weeks ago.
This week’s protest involved 45,000 campaigners, according to police estimates.
It took place during a four-day truce between Israel and Hamas, with protesters saying that the truce was not enough.
“We need full support for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza,” protester Kate Hudson, 64, told Reuters at the rally.
The demonstration marched down London and finished outside the Houses of Parliament.
“It’s very welcome that there is a pause … But this problem needs to be resolved and resolved so that the Palestinians finally have the political settlement that countless U.N. resolutions have enshrined,” Hudson added, an anti-war activist.
