Pro-Palestinian signs on display at London anti-Trump protest


Thousands of demonstrators stage a rally in London to protest US President Donald Trump’s visit

Strong solidarity with Gaza at anti-Trump protest in London

Pro-Palestinian messaging is on strong display at a march in central London protesting US President Donald Trump’s UK visit. Thousands of anti-Trump protesters marched through the British capital, many waving Palestinian flags and carrying signs calling for an end to the war in Gaza.

“Stop US and Israeli terrorism,” read a large banner at the front of the march.

Speaking from the protest, Al Jazeera’s Rory Challands said the protest was from a broad coalition of largely left-wing causes, comprised of groups saying Trump was enabling a genocide in Gaza, while rolling back human rights and climate protections and emboldening the far right.

“The message they’ve given overwhelmingly here is that Trump is not welcome,” he said.

Trump seeking to ‘whitewash’ genocide with UK visit: UK Greens leader

US President Donald Trump has come to the United Kingdom seeking “to whitewash his own complicity in the genocide unfolding in Gaza,” the leader of the UK’s Green Party has said.

Speaking ahead of his appearance at an anti-Trump protest in London, Zack Polanski said the “vast majority” of the country was “against Trump and everything he stands for”, PA Media reported.

“Our country has a proud tradition of standing up for the underdog,” he said. “Today, that means standing alongside every child in Gaza; with all those in detention camps on the borders of the United States and with each and every one of those growing up in poverty here in Britain.”


‘What’s happening in Gaza is a genocide’: Sadiq Khan

London’s mayor has said that he believes that “what’s happening in Gaza is a genocide”.

The leader of the British capital shared his views on the subject in a video post on X.

“When I see the images of the children starving … when I see the health system in Gaza collapsed; when I see the lack of supplies reaching people in need; when I see the famine that is man-made; when I read the … interim judgement of the ICJ, and then see a UN commission report this week, I think it’s inescapable to draw the conclusion in Gaza we’re seeing, before our very eyes, a genocide,” he said.
