Will Continue Until Ceasefire: Thousands March In London Pro-Palestine Rally

Last week Prime Minister Rishi Sunak called for the police to take tougher action against the protesters, saying the events "had descended into intimidation, threats and planned acts of violence."

Thousands of protesters marched in central London on Saturday to call for a ceasefire in Gaza amid ongoing bombardments by Israel after the deadly Hamas attack on its territory on October 7.

Regular marches protesting Israel's military response to the attacks have seen dozens arrested for anti-Semitic chanting and banners, promoting a proscribed organisation and assaulting emergency workers.

The march, from Hyde Park Corner to the US Embassy, was the fifth major demonstration of the year so far in the capital.
