Thousands of pro-Palestine demonstrators gathered in central London on Saturday as part of a “global day of action” denouncing Israel’s ongoing airstrikes in Gaza. The march, which attracted substantial police presence, has been a recurring event in the city since Israel initiated its offensive against Hamas following an attack on October 7. With placards and chants, protesters expressed solidarity with the people of Palestine and voiced their discontent with their respective governments for not taking action. The demonstration holds particular significance in light of the UK’s recent airstrikes in Yemen against Huthi bases, carried out in response to attacks on ships in the Red Sea in support of Gaza. Protesters were warned by the police that any intentional violation of regulations or specified route would result in arrests. The day of action, involving 30 countries, was organized by various UK coalitions advocating for Palestinian rights and a permanent ceasefire.
