Hawzah News Agency- According to the Palestinian information center, the demonstration was organized by the Palestinian Forum in Britain, alongside its partners in the UK Palestine Coalition, which includes the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, Stop the War Coalition, the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, Friends of Al-Aqsa, and the Muslim Association of Britain.

Speakers included Fares Amer from the Palestinian Forum in Britain, Ben Jamal from the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, Alex from Stop the War Coalition, Janine Hourani from the Palestinian Youth Movement, and Yasmine Adam from the Muslim Association of Britain, among others.

Adnan Hmidan, Deputy Chair of the Palestinian Forum in Britain, voiced protesters’ frustration over the UK government’s backtracking on Foreign Secretary David Lammy’s recent remarks condemning the blockade on Gaza. He pointed out that while Lammy’s statement was weak and lacked real action, even that was not upheld. Hmidan also reminded British officials—who had previously urged an end to protests once a ceasefire was in place—that Israel does not honor its commitments or respect agreements. Its latest breach of the truce and return to mass killing is proof of that.

The protest saw a heavy police presence, but demonstrators remained firm, vowing to keep up the pressure until the UK government takes a clear and responsible stance on Israel’s ongoing atrocities in Gaza.
