In what has become the 30th national demonstration since October 2023, more than 250,000 people gathered across Britain on Saturday in a powerful show of solidarity with the people of Gaza. This protest marks the first major demonstration following Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s announcement of his intent to occupy the entire Gaza Strip, a move widely condemned as a declaration of further violence and repression.

The demonstrators united in firm rejection of Netanyahu’s plans and the ongoing brutal measures inflicted upon Gaza’s civilian population. They demanded that the UK government, led by Prime Minister Keir Starmer, take decisive and immediate action to halt this catastrophe. The protesters called on the government to stop the export of arms to Israel, end the genocide and starvation currently imposed on the people of Gaza, and prosecute Israeli leaders accused of war crimes.
