LONDON, Saturday, November 11, 2023 (WAFA) – Hundreds of thousands of people marched today in central London under the theme “Stop bombing Gaza” and “Ceasefire now” in the largest Palestine solidarity demonstration held in the country so far.

Police estimated that around 300,000 demonstrators joined the march, which fell on the same day as the annual Remembrance Day commemorations – marking the end of World War I and honoring those killed in military action.

Ben Jamal, one of the organizers from the Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC), told Reuters up to a million people joined the rally.  

The National March for Palestine on Saturday was the latest in a series of rallies in the British capital to show support for the Palestinians since Israel launched an air and ground offensive on the Gaza Strip on October 7.

Former British opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn and member of Parliament for Islington also took part in the rally and demanded a ceasefire.

This was the fifth time since the outbreak of the Israeli onslaught on Gaza that hundreds of thousands of protesters take to the streets in London in solidarity with the Palestinian people.
