PALESTINE supporters presented a petition to Sheffield City Council today demanding that it “stand in unity and solidarity with Palestinians — in the same way as [it] did with the people of Ukraine.”

The petition, signed by more than 7,500 people, is one of dozens of actions continuing nationwide as protesters in London prepare to march on the US embassy on Saturday.

Sheffield Palestine Coalition Against Israeli Apartheid said they were asking the council to welcome South Africa’s case at the International Court of Justice in the Hague, which put Israel on trial for the crime of genocide in Gaza.
