People take part in a pro-Palestine march in central London organised by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, July 6, 2024
THOUSANDS of pro-Palestine activists will form a human chain around Parliament tonight to demand the new government stop enabling Israel’s genocidal assault on Gaza.
The activists are urging Sir Keir Starmer’s government to halt arms exports to Israel and take action to force a ceasefire.
Campaign Against Arms Trade (CAAT) estimates that the value of arms exports to Israel is twice as high as the government claims — at least £1 billion since 2015.
