Thousands have participated in pro-Palestinian protests across the UK, calling for an end to Israeli air strikes in Gaza. Central London saw a significant turnout, with disruptions at train stations and 29 arrests for various offenses, including racial hatred.
Protests occurred alongside a vigil for Hamas' hostages in Manchester. Controversy has arisen over a proposed Armistice Day rally, which government officials like Prime Minister Sunak criticize for potential disrespect to war memorials.
Israel continues its strikes in Gaza following Hamas attacks, with a reported death toll of over 9,000. Upcoming protests are to be met with considerable police presence.
