Tens of thousands marched through London calling for a halt to the bloody conflict in Gaza and a ban on UK arms exports to Israel.
The demonstration began at BBC Broadcasting House in Portland Place and marched past the US Embassy, then on to Hyde Park, where the rally continued. Speakers included George Galloway and Diane Abbott, with crowd estimates ranging from15,000 to 100,000.
"Today's national demonstration will give people from across the country the chance to say enough is enough, Israel's siege of Gaza and its occupation of Palestinian land has to end now," Sarah Colborne, director of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign.
The march is being held as a public appeal for funds to help the victims of Israel's attacks on Gaza raise more than £4.5m in less than 24 hours.
Saleh Saeed, DEC chief executive, told the Guardian: "The funds are desperately needed, with ongoing fighting in Gaza creating an unbearable situation for families and children. Despite the end of the ceasefire, aid is getting through… but with the scale of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, they urgently need more money to scale up their life-saving work."
Pressure group Peace Now has called on supporters to rally on Saturday night in Tel Aviv against the conflict and to call for a diplomatic solution.
Activists from various groups, including the Stop the War Coalition marched through London to a rally in Hyde Park.
Jeremy Corbyn, chairman of the Stop the War Coalition told the Voice of Russia: "The message we are giving to our government is two things. One, that there is a £8 billion trade between Britain and Israel in arms and related equipment, which think should stop because of Israel's of behaviour in Gaza.
"Secondly, the question of the European Union – Israel trade agreement, which includes human rights clauses in it – all of which have been breached by Israel – and which is now under investigation for war crimes at the United Nations Human Rights Council."

It goes both ways. Yes hamas is a problem but dont accept the utter crap the west wants to feed you aabout them using children as human shields. Even the united nations has said israel is bombing its schools. Its no coincidence israel is targeting children because their tactic seems logical. Its like a long term investment. Kill the kids in order to kill the future of palestine.

The two sides had different interpretations of this agreement. In the event, the UK and France divided up the area under the Sykes–Picot Agreement, an act of betrayal in the opinion of the Arabs. Further confusing the issue was the Balfour Declaration promising support for a Jewish "national home" in Palestine. After the war ended, a military administration, named Occupied Enemy Territory Administration, was established in the captured territory of the former Ottoman Syria. The British sought legitimacy for their continued control of the region and this was achieved by obtaining a mandate from the League of Nations in June 1922. The formal objective of the League of Nations Mandate system was to administer parts of the defunct Ottoman Empire, which had been in control of the Middle East since the 16th century, "until such time as they are able to stand alone."[3] The civil Mandate administration was formalized with the League of Nations' consent in 1923 under the British Mandate for Palestine, which covered two administrative areas. The land west of the Jordan River, known as Palestine, was under direct British administration until 1948, while the land east of the Jordan was a semi-autonomous region known as Transjordan, under the rule of the Hashemite family from the Hijaz, and gained independence in 1946.[4]
