Massive Pro-Palestinian Protest in London Draws International Attention

Half a million pro-Palestinian demonstrators gathered in London, making it one of the largest protests in the city's history, while a group of Americans protested near Joe Biden's Delaware mansion. Similar demonstrations took place in Paris, Brussels, Barcelona, Cape Town, and Dublin, with calls for a cease-fire in the Gaza Strip. The timing of the London protest on Armistice Day drew criticism from British officials. Over 80 protesters were arrested in London, and counter-protesters were also taken into custody. In the US, protesters gathered outside Biden's home, demanding a cease-fire and holding signs condemning genocide. Other cities, including Barcelona and Brussels, also saw large demonstrations.
