to report «iusnews»; Hundreds of thousands of people have taken to the streets in central London, Munich and Washington calling for an immediate halt to Israel's war crimes against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
The protest marked the 76th anniversary of the Nakba - the mass displacement of Palestinians after Israel proclaimed its illegal existence on May 15, 1948.
The march commemorated the “ethnic cleansing of 750,000 Palestinians, three-quarters of the Palestinian population, from their homeland in 1947/8, and the subsequent denial of their right to return,” said the Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC), which organized the rally.
It said demonstrators were calling "again for action to end the genocide in Gaza.”
Protesters were holding placards, including one depicting Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer, the Labour leader, with blue horns and Israeli flags across their mouths.
They were also carrying "ceasefire now" placards, as they made their way from Regent's Street to Whitehall, where they gathered for speeches.
