The march began in Hyde Park Corner and ended outside the US embassy in Nine Elms. Near the start of the march, a crowd gathered around drummers, whose instruments were clad with the Palestinian flag and who played to chants calling for an end to Israeli occupation, the Guardian reported.
The Palestine Solidarity Campaign, which organized the demonstration, said in a post on X that about 400,000 had attended the march.
Data show that some 80% of Brits are in support of an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. They are also angry at their government’s unwavering support for the Zionist regime.
Meanwhile, the British government is trying to delegitimize opposition to the Zionist regime and suppress support for the Palestinian people, to impose new restrictions under the pretext of countering extremism.
The British government, as one of the main supporters of the Zionist regime, ignores the killing of innocent and oppressed Palestinian people and opposes the establishment of a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, and believes that such a move will embolden the Palestinian Resistance.
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak once claimed that a ceasefire will embolden the Palestinian Resistance, saying a “sustainable ceasefire” is possible on the condition that Hamas stop rocket attacks and release Israeli prisoners held in Gaza.
The Zionist regime, with the backing of the West, the US in particular, launched its genocidal war on Gaza that has claimed over 31,000 Palestinian lives so far, mostly women and children.
The regime made the October 7 “Al-Aqsa Flood” operation by Hamas a pretext for its bloody campaign in Gaza. But the Palestinian Resistance group says the anti-Israel operation was in response to decades of crimes committed by the Zionists in the besieged Gaza Strip and the occupied West Bank.
