Mass marches in Rome and London calling for an end to the offensive in Gaza, a break with Israel and a halt to European rearmament
Participants in the 'National March for Palestine' in London have vociferously called for an end to the 'Israeli occupation' of Palestinian territory and for the cessation of Israeli bombings of Iran.
As in so many cities around the world, tens of thousands of people have traveled the streets of central London this Saturday in a massive march to demand that the British Government stop supplying arms to Israel these days that violence has escalated in the Middle East conflict.
The march lasted more than four hours, past Russell Square Square, the British Museum, the road to Whitehall and the street where the residence of British Prime Minister Downing Street is located.
Participants in the so-called'Palestinian National March 'have chanted cries of' From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free 'and called for an end to the' occupation 'of Palestinian lands by Israel and for an end to the Israeli bombing of Iran.

In order to prevent the two opposing ideology groups from engaging in hostilities, the London Metropolitan Police have set up fences and enabled a "suitable" space to divide the two demonstrations.
The march has been organised by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC). According to local media, it has also taken place while the Labour Executive is considering the designation of the Palestine Action group as a terrorist organization, which last Friday vandalized two planes with red spray at a British Army military base.
"Our political leaders have tried to convince us that what is right is not right. What we see with our eyes does not seem to be what it is: that Israel is not a state that has killed more than 55,000 people and forced children to go hungry. We should treat it as a democratic ally, to whom we must continue to sell weapons, and with which trade must be maintained as before," said PSC Movement Director Ben Jamal in a video posted on social media.
