London, September 27 (RHC)-- Hundreds of people have gathered outside the British prime minister’s office at 10 Downing Street in London to demand the British government push for a ceasefire in Gaza and Lebanon.  They also called for an arms embargo on Israel.

"Hands off Lebanon.  Hands off Gaza."  A desperate plea for UK government action as Israel expands its genocidal war on Gaza into Lebanon.

One protest organizer said: "We are asking the UK government to stop all armed exports to Israel.  They are complicit.  People are being bombed and massacred in Gaza and now in Lebanon, and soon, the entire region if Israel continues.  Our government must push for a ceasefire or put more pressure on its allies, the U.S. and Israel."

Nearly a year into the Gaza genocide and the UK support for Israel has remained unshaken, with not much hope that it'll be any different now that Lebanon is under attack if public pressure relents.

Another protester told the media: "It is our responsibility to hold the government to account.  We have to put much more pressure on the [UK] government."

"Don't women weep for their children?  Don't their children bleed when they're bombed, don’t they die?  What fools are we to think otherwise?"

This week, Antonio Guterres, the UN Secretary General, warned that Lebanon was on the brink of becoming a second Gaza, and that is what these protesters say they are here to try and prevent, as well as to call on the British government to impose an arms embargo on the Israeli regime.
