Pro-Palestine demonstrators filled the streets of London on Saturday, Jan. 31, demanding an immediate halt to British arms sales to Israel and condemning ongoing violations of the Gaza ceasefire, Anadolu reports.
The crowd gathered at Russell Square before marching to Whitehall, the seat of the British government.
Protesters directed their anger at the Prime Minister’s Office at 10 Downing Street, accusing the government of complicity in what they termed a continuing genocide.
Demonstrators chanted slogans against both the Israeli and UK governments, calling on British institutions and companies to end their support for actions that violate international law.
A small group of pro-Israel counter-protesters lined part of the route, waving Israeli and British flags in an attempt to provoke the marchers, though the main demonstration continued without major incident.
Since the ceasefire took effect in early October, Israeli actions have killed 524 Palestinians and wounded 1,360 others, committing 1,450 violations, according to the Gaza media office on Saturday.
