LONDON (Dispatches) –Thousands of people have attended a pro-Palestine solidarity march in London, calling on the Group of Seven (G7) leaders meeting in southwest England to support Palestinian rights.
As part of the “Resist G7: Day of Action for International Justice” rally, demonstrators on Saturday marched towards Prime Minister Borris Johnson’s official residence in Downing Street, chanting and holding placards to protest the Zionist regime’s policies in the occupied Palestinian territory.
The protesters demanded an end to what they said is complicity in the regime’s war crimes against the Palestinians by the United Kingdom and other G7 governments.
Former Labour party leader Jeremy Corbyn attended the march and addressed the crowd.
“At today’s Justice for Palestine demonstration in London, I also called for a halt to arms sales,” Corbyn wrote on Twitter.
“UK-made weapons are killing civilians – including children – in conflicts abroad. This must stop,” he said.
The rally came as the informal club of seven leading economies – Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States – were meeting in Cornwall face-to-face for the first time in two years to tackle the global health crisis and climate change.
The focus of the demonstrators was “changing” and “evolving” ever since a fragile ceasefire was announced between the Zionist regime and Palestinian resistance movement Hamas.
The occupying regime’s 11-day bombardment of Gaza killed 253 Palestinians, including at least 66 children, leaving behind many buildings, homes and infrastructure destroyed in the besieged enclave.
However, the Gaza-based resistance movements responded by launching over 4,000 rockets into the occupied territories, some reaching as far as Tel Aviv and even Haifa and Nazareth to the north.
The Zionist regime’s army chief of staff General Aviv Kochavi  acknowledged that his troops failed to prevent Palestinian resistance groups from launching rockets and mortar shells during the latest Zionist war on Gaza.
Speaking at a conference commemorating former chief of staff Amnon Lipkin-Shahak, at the military’s college north of Tel Aviv, Kochavi said the occupying regime needed LONDON (Dispatches) –Thousands of people have attended a pro-Palestine solidarity march in London, calling on the Group of Seven (G7) leaders meeting in southwest England to support Palestinian rights.

Speaking at a conference commemorating former chief of staff Amnon Lipkin-Shahak, at the military’s college north of Tel Aviv, Kochavi said the occupying regime needed to develop clear policies regarding Gaza and Hamas in order to achieve a “strategic victory.”
Kochavi said the regime’s military had to be “modest” in assessing the effectiveness of its aggression on Palestinian resistance groups in the Gaza Strip, noting that tactical victories do not necessarily result in long-term quiet.
Back on June 5, Hamas leader Yahya al-Sinwar warned that another flare-up between the Palestinian factions and the Zionist regime will change the face of the Middle East region.
