Huge pro-Palestinian London march calls for permanent ceasefire
(www.theguardian.com)
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Protesters old and young chanted for a ceasefire as they marched down Park Lane to Whitehall, some draped with Palestinian flags, donning keffiyehs and armed with “Free Palestine” signs and olive branches.
Organisers of Saturday’s march, which has drawn hundreds of thousands of demonstrators to London’s streets and elsewhere in the UK since the conflict began, said the temporary truce showed that a permanent ceasefire was possible.
As diplomats hope to announce plans to extend the four-day temporary ceasefire in Gaza well before it ends, the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and his defence team said Israel’s military was already preparing for the restart of hostilities after four days.
The 1,500 Met police officers on duty this weekend handed out flyers warning demonstrators against the use of racist words and images or celebrating terrorism.
However, the law also protects people from racist and religious abuse and prohibits the promotion of terrorism,” deputy assistant commissioner Ade Adelekan said on Friday.
“What Israel is doing is totally disproportionate to what Hamas did – which was not right, absolutely not right,” said King, who has attended every march since the conflict began on 7 October, and will continue until it’s resolved.
