Details: Demonstrators gathered for an afternoon protest and marched from Marble Arch in London to the Government Quarter.
People held signs reading “Free Palestine” while others unfurled a giant Palestinian flag and launched green smoke bombs.
Also reports Sky Newsdemonstrators chanted: “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” a slogan that had previously been called for to be tested for anti-Semitism.
London police said there were “pockets of disorder and some incidents of hate speech” during the demonstration, but overall the protest was legal and took place without incident.
What preceded: Amid Israel’s response to an attack by Hamas in the Gaza Strip in early October, European countries have stepped up security measures due to a possible wave of violence against Jewish communities or attacks by Islamist groups.
The situation was aggravated by an explosion at the Al-Ahly hospital in the Gaza Strip, which killed dozens of civilians. The Palestinian authorities and Arab countries blamed Israel for this, and the Israeli side and Western countries believe that the cause was the fall of a rocket fired by the Palestinians.
This situation led to a wave of anti-Israel protests in Arab countries demanding an end to support for Israel and the blockade of Gaza.
