Thousands of pro-Palestine protesters are expected to rally in London on Saturday, calling for Andy Burnham, set to become the next UK prime minister, to impose sanctions on Israel. The National March for Palestine is being led by the Palestine Coalition, including members of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC). Demonstrators are expected demanding that Burnham's government takes meaningful action regarding Israel's actions in Gaza. The Metropolitan Police has set out conditions under the Public Order Act to prevent serious disruption at the demonstration. Peter Leary, PSC deputy director, said Burnham should start by imposing wide-ranging sanctions against Israel, including a full arms embargo and a total ban on all trade that aids or assists Israel's violations of international law.
