As the Israeli genocide in Gaza approaches its one-year mark, protests persist across many Western and Islamic nations. Demonstrators are voicing their condemnation of Israeli aggression and showing solidarity with the people of Gaza, who are enduring unprecedented attacks on both civilians and infrastructure, compounded by inhumane conditions under siege. The brutal Israeli aggression has also spread into Lebanon, further escalating tensions in the region.

Today, thousands gathered for the "Free Palestine" march, which commenced at Russell Square in London and is progressing toward Whitehall, highlighting the ongoing calls for justice and an immediate ceasefire. 

London hosted a significant demonstration in solidarity with Palestine and Lebanon, where protesters called on the UK government to halt arms sales to "Israel". During the event, images of martyr Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah were prominently displayed.

Collective voice for Palestine and Lebanon

In a show of support for pro-Palestine activism, dozens of demonstrators gathered outside the Old Bailey Crown Court in London to rally for Richard Barnard, co-founder of the Palestinian Labour Organization, who faced a court hearing over charges related to his advocacy.

I've followed these demonstrations in Central London over the last 12 months since the Oct 7th attack, and this feels like it could be one of the largest and certainly most vocal. pic.twitter.com/DBSajNSYYb

Meanwhile, in France, members of the La France Insoumise movement led a pro-Palestine demonstration, reflecting the growing international momentum for Palestinian rights and highlighting the urgent calls for justice and an end to the war in the region.

During the demonstration, Jean-Luc Melenchon, the leader of the La France Insoumise party, expressed profound emotions regarding France's historical stance on global injustices. He conveyed his sadness and shame at belonging to a nation that should have consistently stood in solidarity with the oppressed, particularly those experiencing genocide in Gaza..
