Pro-Palestinian and pro-Israel supporters gather at separate rallies in London

Hundreds rally in central London for both Palestinians and Israelis calling for peace amid the ongoing conflict. Since October 7, when Hamas initiated an unprecedented attack on Israel, the region has seen extensive air strikes and a Gaza Strip blockade, resulting in over 3,000 casualties, including around 1,500 Hamas militants.

00:35 Civilians in Palestine have been under siege for so long and this is a reaction to that.
00:40 Obviously it's never justified to kill anybody,
00:45 but essentially you can't report it from what's happened this weekend. You have to look at the history of the situation
00:50 and realize that what they've been going through, all the warnings that they have given,
00:55 nobody's taken heed. The deal that was made with Israel for them to stop the settlement

02:15 We know there's a big war coming and it's really challenging to not feel hatred.
02:20 We know what's really attacking us.
02:25 Those people who are even now in captivity.
