Tens of thousand to march to US embassy for 24th national Palestine protest

TENS of thousands of pro-Palestinian demonstrators are set to flood the streets of London on Saturday to demand a permanent ceasefire in Gaza.

The march and rally comes as the current ceasefire teeters on the brink of collapse, with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu threatening to resume bombing and US president Donald Trump declaring “let all hell break loose” after Hamas delayed the release of more hostages, citing Israeli violations of the deal.

Protesters will gather at midday on Saturday at Whitehall before marching to the US embassy.

Among the speakers will be Palestinian activist Iyad Burnat, who has travelled from the West Bank, MP for Coventry South Zarah Sultana, author, poet and presenter Michael Rosen, RMT senior assistant general secretary Eddie Dempsey, and MP for Islington North Jeremy Corbyn. 

The protest takes place a month after the police arrested 77 protesters at a Palestine march last month when the Met imposed draconian public order act conditions in various areas in what has been condemned as an attack on freedom to assemble.
