Thousands of pro-Palestine demonstrators marched through central London Saturday, urging incoming Prime Minister Andy Burnham to act firmly against Israel's operations in Gaza. Chanting slogans and holding flags, they demanded an immediate ceasefire, sanctions on Israel, an end to British arms exports, and stronger support for Palestinian statehood, calling Israel's actions "genocide." The demonstration followed Friday's confirmation that Burnham, the former Mayor of Greater Manchester, was elected Labour leader. He will succeed Keir Starmer as Prime Minister on July 20. Analysts note that Labour's previous stance on Gaza led to significant local election losses to independent and Green candidates, increasing pressure on leadership prior to Starmer's resignation. #ISRAEL #PALESTINE #GAZA #UKLABOR #STARMER #ANDYBURNHAM
