Thousands of pro-Palestinian demonstrators participated in a march on Saturday that toured central London. To demand an end to the Israeli strikes on the Gaza Strip, and the march coincided with the third anniversary of the October 7 attack launched by the Hamas movement on the south of the Hebrew state.

The participants raised banners reading “Stop genocide” and “Freedom for Palestine” as they marched near the British Parliament.

Amy Chalan, director of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, told Agence France-Presse: “We gather today to commemorate the third anniversary of the ongoing genocide in Gaza.”

She considered that the Western sanctions led by Britain against the backdrop of violence committed by settlers in the occupied West Bank are not enough, calling for “imposing comprehensive sanctions on Israel.”

Since the announcement of a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip on October 10, 2025, Israel has continued its strikes on the Strip on a daily basis, killing 1,450 people, according to the Ministry of Health in Gaza.

The police said that they arrested a number of people, including a man and a woman who were carrying signs supporting the banned Palestine Action organization.

Hibo Hassan (23 years old), who recently graduated from the university, said she wanted to express her solidarity.

She added: “Although the events take place in the Middle East, they affect us here as well.”

She continued: “It is a nightmare, and it should worry us all.”

Another demonstrator, a 32-year-old immigrant from Kosovo who identified himself as “Kobi,” said that his personal experience with war prompted him to “take action today and not allow history to repeat itself.”

The Palestine Coalition organized the “National March for Palestine,” according to the police, three days after Israel commemorated the third anniversary of the bloodiest attack in its history, which resulted in the deaths of 1,221 people and the kidnapping of 251 who were transported to Gaza, 44 of whom died.

Israel responded to the unprecedented attack with a devastating war that killed more than 74,000 people in the Gaza Strip and turned large parts of it into rubble.

In contrast, the pro-Israel group Stop the Hate UK organized a small counter-demonstration.

Before the start of the march, London Police announced that it would use the powers available to it under public order laws to oblige anyone wearing a face covering for the purpose of concealing their identity to remove it.

Metropolitan Police official Carl Galvin said: “We will follow a zero-tolerance approach to hate crimes and any other violations.”

Police in Poland said that two girls and a woman were injured in a stabbing incident on Saturday at a university college in Warsaw, in the latest episode of a series of incidents that raised concerns in the country about the increasing phenomenon of imitating acts of violence among young people.

Thousands of police officers went to schools across the country on Friday, seeking to reassure students after two attacks carried out by two boys with knives within two days sparked rumors of other possible attacks. Fears worsened after Saturday's incident.

Police spokesman Jakub Filipiak told Reuters: “At 12:30 today, we received a report about an incident in which a dangerous weapon was used.”

He added: “One person suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was taken to hospital. Two passers-by were injured and their condition did not require hospitalization.”

He pointed out that the attacker was a 21-year-old college student.

The Polish News Agency (PAP) reported that two 17-year-old girls and a 24-year-old woman were stabbed when they came to a college to submit registration documents. The agency stated that the preliminary results of the investigations conducted by the police concluded that there was no prior knowledge between the attacker and the three injured women.

The police said, on Saturday, that they had carried out inspections of about 50,000 establishments since yesterday, Friday, and detained 76 people. Authorities previously said that most of those detained were minors who had previously made threats online.

On Thursday, a former student at a primary school in northeastern Warsaw killed a guard and wounded two teachers. This attacker is 15 years old, and was wearing a helmet with a camera attached to it while carrying out the attack.

On Wednesday, a 19-year-old young man injured 9 people before harming himself at a school in Ostrowenka, north of the capital.

European Union foreign policy chief Kaya Kallas warned on Saturday that lifting sanctions on Russian diesel would contribute to financing Moscow's war on Ukraine, after US President Donald Trump announced an agreement with Russia to pump large quantities of fuel.

Callas wrote on social media: “Russian strikes killed more than 80 Ukrainian civilians in two days. “In addition, Russia has intensified its multi-media attacks against Europe, targeting European Union member states and NATO allies.”

She added: “Suspending sanctions on Russian diesel provides Moscow with more revenue to finance its war. “This is not the time to ease pressure on Russia, and Europe will not do that.”

For his part, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky considered that the Russian strikes on his country on Saturday, which resulted in 15 deaths, were Moscow’s way of “thanking” Washington for the agreement on diesel that Trump announced. Zelensky told reporters on Friday: “This is certainly not fair, and it is certainly shameful on the part of our partners, and in my opinion, it is a weak decision.”

On Friday, Trump announced that Russia had agreed to offer large quantities of diesel, while easing sanctions imposed on Moscow in this regard, in an effort to reduce energy costs ahead of the midterm elections.

In addition, the European Commission, in response to the agreement between Trump and his Russian counterpart regarding diesel, called for a truce that includes the infrastructure in both Ukraine and Russia.

The Commission said: “We continue to believe that there is a need for a ceasefire that protects global food supplies and the energy infrastructure of Ukraine and Russia.”

Moscow has intensified its bombing of Ukraine in recent months. This led to a significant increase in the number of civilian casualties, while US-led efforts to mediate an end to the war that has been ongoing for more than four and a half years remain stalled. At dawn on Saturday, Russia targeted residential neighborhoods in the city of Zaporizhya in southeastern Ukraine with “five guided air bombs,” according to Ukrainian police, killing at least 17 people, including three children.
