Peaceful march to Downing Street urges U.K. to intensify pressure on the terrorist group in Gaza.
Thousands of demonstrators gathered in central London on Sunday for the “National March for the Hostages,” organized by Stop The Hate UK and supported by the Board of Deputies of British Jews.
The march, which began at 3 p.m., proceeded to Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s official residence at 10 Downing Street for a rally calling for the immediate release of hostages still held by Hamas.
Organizers said the event united the Jewish community with allies from across the United Kingdom, stressing the urgency of international action following the release of new videos showing hostages in dire conditions in Hamas captivity in Gaza.
