The pro-Palestine march on Saturday will start at Marble Arch in Hyde Park at 12pm on Saturday, head south through the capital down the Vauxhall Bridge Road, and cross the River Thames en route to the US Embassy on Nine Elms Lane. The march is in opposition to US President Joe Biden's unwavering support for the Israeli military’s ground operation in Gaza in response to the Hamas attacks of October 7 that killed 1,400 Israelis and took 200 hostages. Post-march speakers will include Jeremy Corbyn, Juliet Stevenson, Maxine Peake, and Husam Zomlot, head of the Palestinian mission to UK. With emotions high, the Met Police have mobilized 1,850 officers along the route from Hyde Park to the embassy anticipating flashpoints as splinter groups could disrupt the march and far-right activists exploit the event that the organizers predict one of Britain's largest-ever protests.
