LONDON (Palestine Foundation Information Center) The Palestinian Forum in Britain (PFB), in collaboration with the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, Stop the War Coalition, Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, Friends of Al-Aqsa, and the Muslim Association of Britain, calls on Palestinian and Arab communities, along with all supporters of Palestine, to join in large numbers for the protest outside the British Parliament in Westminster and in major public squares across various British cities on Saturday.
These protests aim to condemn the ongoing genocide in Gaza, particularly in its northern region, where over 4,000 lives have been lost in under 70 days. This tragic toll is in addition to the tens of thousands of martyrs, injured, and missing since the onset of Israeli aggression in October 2023, all of which add to the decades-long bloodshed inflicted on Palestinians since the occupation of Palestine began in 1948.
As these atrocities persist, the UK government, led by Keir Starmer, remains preoccupied with protecting the Israeli Chief of Staff from accountability during his recent visit to London, rather than working to bring him to justice. Meanwhile, Israeli aggression against Syria is escalating, as Netanyahu and his regime exploit Syria’s focus on consolidating its political stability following the Syrian revolution for freedom and dignity. The occupation seeks to take advantage of this moment to claim new territories in Syria and intensify its brutal assaults.
Speakers at the Rally for Palestine:
Brian Eno – Musician and Visual Artist
Leanne Mohamad – British Palestinian Activist
Michael Rosen – Author and Poet
The program will commence promptly at 2:30 PM in front of Parliament, followed by participants laying memorial flowers for the martyrs at 10 Downing Street.
The PFB statement read, “We call on freedom advocates around the world to stand united against this unjust global system and to bring an end to the criminal Zionist actions that destabilize the region, threaten security, and terrorize innocent civilians.”
“Our protests and demonstrations will continue until the occupation ends, war criminals are held accountable, and Palestine is once again free and sovereign,” it concluded.
