LONDON: A large demonstration in support of Palestinians in Gaza was held in London on Monday night.

Protesters gathered outside the Israeli Embassy in the capital to demand an end to Israel鈥檚 occupation of Palestine.

The event was organized by several UK groups, including Friends of Al-Aqsa, the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, Stop the War, the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, the Muslim Association of Britain, and the Palestinian Forum in Britain.

Dr. Ismail Patel, founder of FOA, said: 鈥淲e have gathered here in London to say Palestinians must be free, Israel must end the occupation, (and) we will stand with the Palestinians until they are free.

鈥淓uropean governments and the British government must stop supporting Israel鈥檚 racist xenophobia against Palestinians.鈥�

Israel intensified its bombardment of the Gaza Strip on Monday, vowing to destroy the 鈥渕ilitary and governing capabilities鈥� of the enclave鈥檚 Hamas rulers, as Israeli soldiers fought to dislodge Gaza gunmen from areas of southern Israel.

Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant announced that 鈥渘o electricity, no food, no water, no gas鈥� would be allowed to enter Gaza.
