Protests with Palestinian flags, chants for a ceasefire, and calls for change were witnessed across various towns and cities. The tension surrounding pro-Palestinian marches was further heightened in anticipation of Armistice Day protests.
Organized by the Free Palestine Coalition, which includes Black Lives Matter UK, Sisters Uncut, and Black Jewish Alliance, the protests aimed to disrupt “business as usual” to draw attention to Britain’s support for the conflict in Gaza.
Despite the arrests and disruptions, demonstrators continued their sit-in at Trafalgar Square and Charing Cross station. The protesters’ resolve was strong, with individuals traveling from different locations to show their support for the Palestinian cause.

The recent protests add to a week of similar disruptive actions at major UK transport hubs, including Birmingham New Street and several London stations.
It’s important to note that the situation remains fluid and continues to evolve as protesters express their solidarity with the Palestinian people. People all over the world are raising their voices against the Israeli terrorism against Gaza.
