Red Line Around Parliament: UK Protest Demands Sanctions on Israel

Pro-Palestine protesters encircled the UK Parliament on Wednesday, demanding an arms embargo against Israel. The demonstration, dubbed "Red Line for Palestine," was organized by a coalition of groups, including the Palestinian Forum in Britain and the Palestine Solidarity Campaign. Protestors held large banners and signs, and several speakers addressed the crowd. One demonstrator, holding a sign that read "Starvation is a crime," said, "The UK government's recent talks with Israel are simply not enough. They need to take stronger action to stop the suffering in Gaza." The protest coincided with a UK Prime Minister's Question Time session, making it a high-profile event. The organizers hope to pressure the UK government into taking a more decisive stance on the conflict.
