‘Stop Arming Israel’: Pro-Palestine Protesters March on Labour Conference
Protesters said Labour’s sanctions on West Bank settlements do not go far enough and urged wider measures after Britain approved $169 million in military equipment for Israel.
- On Sunday, hundreds of Pro-Palestine protesters marched on the Labour Party annual conference in Liverpool, demanding an end to UK arms sales to Israel and the imposition of sanctions.
- While the Labour government recently sanctioned West Bank settlements, demonstrators argue current measures are insufficient; the Starmer administration suspended 30 export licences in 2024, citing a "clear risk" of international law violations.
- Police arrested individuals under the Terrorism Act for supporting Palestine Action as more than 250 protesters gathered outside the venue, an action Amnesty International condemned as an attack on free speech.
- Despite the sanctions, the government recently approved $169m worth of military equipment for Israel over the next three months, fueling criticism from protesters regarding continued military support.
- Campaign group Defend Our Juries urged the government to end the proscription of Palestine Action, while Professor Tony Booth and groups like Suffragettes criticized the party's direction under Prime Minister Andy Burnham.
