Hawzah News Agency- According Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC), which organised the demonstrations against Israel’s genocide in Gaza, more than 600,000 people joined the march.
PSC director Ben Jamal said that the plan put forward by US President Donald Trump was “not a plan for enduring peace”, adding that it fails to address “the root cause of violence”.
He vowed that demonstrations would continue “until the Palestinian people are finally free".
Protestors carried Palestinian flags, banners calling for an end to UK arms sales to Israel and placards demanding accountability.
The UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory in September said Israel has committed genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
However, despite the ceasefire, Israeli forces have killed at least 17 Palestinians and wounded 71 others in the past 24 hours, according to the Palestinian health ministry. Israeli forces also shelled areas across the Gaza Strip.
The truce officially began in the early hours of Friday, after receiving final approval from The Israeli regime. However, air strikes, artillery fire and gunshots were reported in Gaza City and Khan Younis.
Unicef on Friday called for all crossings into Gaza to be opened, saying children in the territory were especially vulnerable because they have gone without proper food for long periods.
Some 700,000 people were displaced from Gaza City and the north by intense Israeli bombardment and raids in the region.
Gaza’s Government Media Office has called for a war crimes probe and asked for "the international community, the United Nations, all international and legal organisations, and the International Criminal Court to hold the leaders of Israel accountable and to not grant them any political or legal immunity".
