💬 Pro-Palestine protesters demand new UK government end all support for Israeli regime 📌 London, IRNA – Pro-Palestine protesters have rallied outside the UK Prime Minister’s office in London, demanding that the incoming government under Andy Burnham end all support for the Israeli regime. Pro-Palestine protesters marched from Russell Square to Whitehall in central London, rallying outside the Prime Minister’s office, IRNA’s correspondent in London reported on Saturday. ​ Chanting slogans such as “Stop the genocide” and “Don’t arm Israel,” they demanded that Andy Burnham’s incoming government put an end to London’s military, political, and diplomatic support for the Israeli regime. ​ Several pro-Palestinian organizations and anti-war groups organized the rally. In a joint statement, the organizers emphasized that Burnham’s acknowledgment of the previous government’s mistakes regarding Gaza is inadequate without concrete actions to halt arms exports, end military cooperation, and impose sanctions on the Israeli regime. ​ The march occurred a day after Burnham was elected as the new leader of the Labour Party. The Stop the War Coalition highlighted that public pressure over the past three years has compelled the government to acknowledge its mistakes. They stressed that the new prime minister must clearly demonstrate from the outset that his foreign policy will not follow the same path as Keir Starmer’s administration. ​ Protesters voiced their concerns about the increase in military spending and the government’s perceived subservience to Washington’s policies. They urged the incoming government to abstain from getting involved in US hostilities in the Strait of Hormuz and to allocate public funds to healthcare, education, and social welfare instead of warfare. 📲 ​
