Thousands of people in central London demonstrated in support of Palestine. This is reported by ITV. The event takes place on the eve of the anniversary of the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7.
London police have already detained two people for attacking emergency workers. The situation in the Middle East escalated on October 7, when thousands of armed Hamas supporters entered Israeli territory from the Gaza Strip. In response, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that the country was in a state of war. On October 27, Israel announced an “expansion” of the ground operation in Gaza. On November 5, as part of a ground operation, IDF forces surrounded Gaza City and cut it off from supplies.
On December 5, the IDF began the third part of the ground operation in the Gaza Strip and surrounded the city of Khan Yunis in the south of the strip. On the evening of May 6, Israel began a ground operation in Rafah, where, according to various sources, there are between one and 1.5 million refugees from the entire Gaza Strip . Less than a day before the start of the operation, the civilian population was asked to move to an “expanded humanitarian zone” 20 km from the city. The condition for ending the operation in Rafah is the release of hostages captured by Hamas or the destruction of Hamas forces in the area.
Previously, Macron advocated stopping arms supplies to Israel.
