Thousands of people have gathered in central London to call for “lasting peace” in Gaza, a day after the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas came into effect.
The demonstration, organised by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, began at Victoria Embankment and headed to Whitehall. Stalls sold keffiyehs and people handed out placards that read “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free”, “it’s not a crime to act against genocide” and “Starmer has blood on his hands, free Palestine”.
