National Demonstration for Palestine - March 15

Freedom for Palestine, No to Ethnic Cleansing, Stop Arming Israel

Central London 12:00 noon - 4:00 pm

Expected to assemble Whitehall before marching to the US Embassy

Called by the organisations of the Palestine Coalition: Palestine Solidarity Campaign, Friends of Al-Aqsa, Stop the War Coalition, Muslim Association of Britain, Palestinian Forum in Britain, Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament.

"As Israel intensifies its attacks on the West Bank and continues to threaten ethnic cleansing in Gaza we must continue to put pressure on our government to end support for Israel's violence."

The seventh and final prisoner exchange of the first phase of the Gaza Ceasefire Agreement took place between February 22 and February 27. On February 22, Hamas released six Israelis, three in Rafah in the morning and three in Nuseirat in the afternoon. The ceremony in Rafah was notable for the participation of all the Palestinian Resistance groups, marching in formation as a single force as if a national army.

In the light of the outrageous and vengeful attempts of the US/Zionist forces to sabotage the Gaza Ceasefire process, the Resistance forces in Palestine are standing firm, defying the attempts to wreck the ceasefire agreement by calling on mediators and the international community to hold Israel to account.

Since the announcement of a ceasefire in Gaza, Israel has at the same time intensified its attacks on various parts of the occupied West Bank, with Israeli forces blocking roads and tightening restrictions on movement. The regime forces closed two side roads in Nablus on Friday, February 28 and sealed off several main and side roads in the West Bank in the past weeks. The Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) intensified their restrictions at checkpoints surrounding the city of Nablus and closed off the Sarra checkpoint west of Nablus, preventing people from crossing.

Arab League representatives convened a Summit in Cairo on March 4, to discuss an Egyptian-led reconstruction plan for Gaza with the aim of finalising a "road map" addressing the future of Gaza and the broader struggle. Jordan and Egypt have categorically rejected any forced relocation of Palestinians. "Our position is firm and clear, and we won't accept any threat to our national security," a Jordanian official stated, stressing that displacement is a "red line" for Jordan. Reports indicate that despite diplomatic efforts, the Cairo summit concluded without any significant breakthroughs.

The Palestinian resistance is standing firm. Join the national demonstration on Saturday, March 15!
