Thousands gather in Whitehall and break through police lines to advance to Trafalgar Square
Seven arrests were made in central London on Saturday as thousands of people gathered to protest Israel’s 15-month war on Gaza, a day after a ceasefire deal was agreed with Hamas.
With signs saying “Stop arming Israel” and “Free Palestine”, protesters gathered in Whitehall, a week after police curtailed organisers’ plans to gather outside the BBC’s Broadcasting House due to its proximity to a synagogue.
