Tens of thousands of demonstrators marched through London's streets toward the US embassy, urging Washington to stop sending weapons to the Israeli occupation as it continues its genocide in Gaza.

Pro-Palestine protesters held Palestinian and Lebanese flags and banners that read "Free Palestine" and "End Israeli Apartheid."

A man has reportedly been arrested during the rally for holding a sign that read "Resistance is not terrorism."

Jeremy Corbyn addressed the rally, which was organized by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign.

A tiny pro-"Israel" counter-protest gathered alongside the march, waving British and Israeli flags and holding posters demanding the release of Israeli captives held in Gaza.

As the Israeli aggression across the Gaza Strips continues, five Palestinians were killed and more were injured in the Israeli bombardment of several homes in al-Nuseirat, central Gaza. 

Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Gaza noted heavy fire from Israeli quadcopters targeting the al-Daawa school and airstrikes in the northwestern area of the camp.

An Israeli drone also deliberately targeted emergency medical crews while they were recovering the bodies of martyrs and treating the injured in the northern area of the al-Nuseirat camp. 

In northern Gaza, the Israeli occupation continues to tighten the noose on Palestinians for the 29th consecutive day, starving, sieging, and massacring them, particularly in Beit Lahia and the Jabalia refugee camp.

Palestinian student stripped of visa for Gaza speech wins appeal vs UK

Palestinian student Dana Abu Qamar has won a human rights appeal, revoking the UK Home Office's decision to strip her of her visa for speaking about Gaza and its resistance. 

The Guardian reported that the Home Office claimed that Dana's presence was "not conducive to public good" but subsequently failed to prove it after her visa was revoked in December 2023.

Dana first caught the attention of authorities during a protest organized at the University of Manchester, where she also leads the Friends of Palestine Society. While speaking to Sky News, Dana explored Gaza's historical resistance against the Israeli "oppressive regime", as well as the 16-year-long blockade the occupation has imposed, calling the Strip's Resistance "a once in a lifetime experience." 

"And everyone is, we are both in fear, but also in fear of what, how Israel will retaliate and how we’ve seen it retaliate overnight, and the missiles that it’s launched and the attacks, but also we are full of pride. We are really, really full of joy of what happened," she also said. 

The decision to revoke her visa followed intervention by former immigration minister Robert Jenrick.

Case rulings

The tribunal handling the case found that the Home Office's decision was a "disproportionate interference with her protected right to free speech" under the European Convention on Human Rights and affirmed that her statements could not be linked to support of Hamas, after Abu Qamar explained that she had been misinterpreted, asserting she was supporting Gaza's Resistance against the occupation.

Additionally, the tribunal found that she was not an extremist and that her description of the Israeli occupation as an "apartheid state" was consistent with several human rights organizations. Using statements such as "actively resisting" and "broke free" during her speech was also related to the lawful acts of Resistance in Gaza. 

According to Abu Qamar, the ruling set an important precedent that validates the right "to voice support for human rights for the plight of Palestinians and the right to resist occupation."

She also expressed her shock at Jenrick's intervention, suggesting it highlights a broader issue with a politicized approach to immigration and security decisions. 

Regarding the government's crackdown, she described it as "so brutal", saying it felt like she was losing everything in a single second for defending her people's right to resist.
