LONDON: Thousands of pro-Palestinian demonstrators marched through the streets of London on Saturday in an effort to “condemn UK government actions” in the war on Gaza and call for an immediate ceasefire, organizers said.
“This is the eighth such march and comes in the wake of the interim ruling against Israel by the International Court of Justice on Jan. 26,” the UK-based Palestinian Solidarity Campaign told.
“Not only did the ICJ find South Africa’s case – that ‘Israel …. is engaging in …genocidal acts against the Palestinian people in Gaza’ – to be plausible, it also found evidence of the risk of further acts of genocide to be sufficient for the court to order interim measures to prevent such acts,” PSC added.
On Dec. 29, South Africa filed an application instituting proceedings against Israel concerning alleged violations in the Gaza Strip, calling on the government to “immediately suspend its military operations” in the besieged Palestinian territory.
