Our next national demonstration for Palestine has been announced for Saturday 15 February in London. Assemble 12noon in Whitehall, marching on the US Embassy.

Palestinians are continuing to face down and resist Israel’s genocide, military occupation and apartheid. Our solidarity remains urgent – we need you to make plans to be there in London on Saturday 15 February.
Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza are returning to their destroyed homes in the north. Many are searching in the rubble, trying to find the bodies of family, friends and neighbours murdered by Israel’s genocide.
As they do so, US President Donald Trump, who continues to arm Israel to the hilt, has proposed the forcible ethnic cleansing of all Palestinians from the Gaza Strip – echoing plans that we know have been discussed by senior Israeli officials for decades.
Israel is continuing with its plans to enforce a law to ban UNRWA’s operations across the occupied Palestinian territory. UNRWA is the only body with the mandate and ability to deliver aid and essential services to Palestinian refugees, and uphold their fundamental rights, including their right of return.
Meanwhile, in the occupied West Bank, the Israeli military is carrying out daily assaults, with at least 17 Palestinians killed in Jenin over the past week. Armed settlers, under the protection of Israeli forces, continue to attack and burn towns and villages in an attempt to drive Palestinians from their homes and land.
As Israel continues its attacks, we must ramp up and escalate all of our campaigning. We need everyone out on the streets on Saturday 15 February.
As you will know, our protest in January saw shameful state repression, including a ban imposed on our planned march to the BBC, followed by the unjust arrest of protesters, and the subsequent charging of movement leaders, including PSC Director Ben Jamal. This time, following widespread criticism of the police, they have accepted and agreed to our proposed route.
On Saturday 15 February we will march, as ever, defiantly and peacefully. To the police and the government, we will send this message: you will never stop us taking to the streets for Palestine.
Our mass demonstrations welcome people from every walk of life. They are not only a place where we send a clear demand to the government to end its complicity in Israel’s crimes, but a place where we go to draw strength and resolve by being in the company of hundreds of thousands of people who share the same outrage at injustice.
We need you, your friends and family, to join us on Saturday 15 February. See you there.
In solidarity,
Lewis
PSC Campaigns Officer
