Tens of thousands of anti-Israel protesters are marching through the streets of London towards the US embassy, to call on Washington to stop arming Jerusalem amid its war on Iran-backed terror groups Hamas and Hezbollah.
Protesters wave Palestinian and Lebanese flags, and signs reading, “Free Palestine” and “End Israeli apartheid.”
London police say a man has been arrested at the protest after he was observed carrying a placard suspected of expressing support for a terror organization.
According to posts on social media, the sign read, “Resistance is not terrorism.”
Far-left lawmaker Jeremy Corbyn addresses the protest, which is organized by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign.
A small pro-Israel counter-protest gathers near the march waving British and Israeli flags and signs calling for the release of hostages held by terror groups in Gaza since Hamas’s brutal October 7, 2023, massacre.
