TENS of thousands will march through Londonon Saturday to mark one year since Israel began its genocidal assault on Gaza.

Protesters are demanding that the British government end all arms sales to Israel and impose sanctions to press Tel Aviv to end its attacks on Palestine and now Lebanon, as it looks set to ignite a wider regional war.

The march will leave from Russell Square at midday.
