Almost 100.000 protesters took to the streets of central London on Saturday 21 October calling for an end to Israel’s bombing of Gaza in response to Hamas’s terror attack earlier this month.

The Metropolitan Police confirmed that up to 100,000 people had joined the protest, which was organised by the Stop the War Coalition and the Palestine Solidarity Campaign.

Palestinian Ambassador Husam Said Zomlot also marched along the protesters after speaking on the stage in central London.

Other protests took place across all UK, including in Dublin and Belfast with people protesting also in front of BBC studios in Manchester over their reporting of the Israel/Palestine conflict.
