Twenty arrested in first march since Ed Miliband declared UK’s position was that Israel’s occupation of West Bank was unlawful Thousands of people have gathered in central London to express their support for Palestinians after three years of “genocide” carried out against them by Israel.
The demonstrators, many wearing keffiyehs and holding Palestine flags, gathered on the Embankment at midday on Saturday.
Some carried placards reading “End the genocide” and “Free Palestine” as they marched towards parliament.
A bride and groom appeared to be among those in attendance and a two-minute silence was held to reflect on the lives lost in Gaza.
