London, October 26 (RHC)-- Within ear shot of the Prime Minister's residence, an emergency pro-Palestine demonstration was held, one of numerous others, demanding that Keir Starmer negotiate a ceasefire in Palestine and Lebanon.

One protester said: "He should stop all arms to Israel, that he starts to properly negotiate a ceasefire on behalf of the United Kingdom, that he recognizes the state of Palestine to be able to start to even acknowledge Palestinians as humans, so that they can be given the same human rights that we're all allowed to have."

Over the past year, Britain's involvement in the genocidal war on Gaza, and now Lebanon, has been staggering, including hundreds of reconnaissance flights providing Israel with intelligence on ground movements in Gaza, as well as delivering weapons on cargo planes taking off from several European bases, including in the UK, all aimed at helping sustain Israel's brutal massacre of Palestinians and expand it into southern Lebanon.

The march, despite police attempts to delay it, was seen as a success, symbolizing public sympathy for Palestinians and a demand for the UK government to address its complicity in the Israeli regime

Another protest organizer said: "It's not just enough of what the UK is doing. It's what the UK isn't doing. And you know right now, we should be standing up on the world stage. Keir Starmer should be standing up on the world stage demanding an end to this."

In September, the Labour government suspended 30 of its 350 arms export licenses to Israel, purportedly fearing violations of international humanitarian law.

A protest outside Starmer’s office has demanded that his government impose an arms embargo on the regime over its war crimes in Gaza.
