"The protest comes in the wake of a tentative ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas, brokered with international mediators, under which hostages are to be released and Israeli military operations paused. Still, protesters argue that a formal agreement alone is not enough. Many are demanding full implementation of the ceasefire terms, a complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza, and the release of all Palestinian detainees."
"The protest will begin at Victoria Embankment at 12pm on Saturday, October 11. It will then proceed across the River Thames at Westminster Bridge, heading towards Big Ben. The path will then go through Waterloo before using Waterloo Bridge to cross the river once more. The protest is anticipated to end at 4.30pm.

Large-scale pro-Palestinian demonstrations are planned in central London this weekend with participants saying much work remains despite a tentative ceasefire. Protesters demand full implementation of ceasefire terms, a complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza, and the release of all Palestinian detainees. Demonstrators cite recurring violations, delays in humanitarian access, and skepticism about the longevity of the pause in hostilities. The protest is organised by a coalition of activist groups and will pass through key central London sites. Metropolitan Police will implement conditions under the Public Order Act to manage crowds and ensure public safety.
