Pro-Palestinian marches held in cities worldwide
Hundreds of thousands of people joined coordinated pro-Palestinian marches in cities around the world on Saturday, October 10, 2026.
The Global Alliance for Palestine said there were at least 325 events, including 176 in Europe.
Organisers estimated that about 250,000 people joined the march in London, where protesters called on the UK government to stop supplying weapons to Israel.
The demonstrations marked three years since the start of Israel’s war in Gaza and included a two-minute silence for Palestinians killed there.
Israel and Hamas signed a ceasefire on October 10, 2025, but the article says Israeli attacks and restrictions on aid have continued.
The protests also followed a statement by more than 100 organisations saying the ceasefire had brought little improvement for Palestinians in Gaza.
