Demonstrations were held in London, Melbourne and Paris, while more activities are planned to be held in other major cities such as New York and Berlin.

During the parade in London, Al Jazeera’s Paul Brennan reported that the Israeli attack stopped making people “relaxed,” but more needs to be done.

He said: “People have a feeling that conflicts should not be forgotten.”

Brennan said the rally was larger than a similar rally held last week, with an estimated 30,000 people attending on Saturday.

Australia

In Adelaide, hundreds of protesters gathered outside the Capitol and then walked through the city centre.

“We need to remember that just because they declared a ceasefire does not mean it is over. It will never end until Palestine is free.” said Jana Fandi, a member of the Australian Palestinian community who attended the rally.

In Sydney, thousands of protesters gathered in Hyde Park, then marched in the streets, chanting and waving banners.

Dalia Hass Qassem, an activist for the Palestinian Action Group, said: “Palestinians continue to face violence from the Israeli occupying forces until the end of the occupation.”
