LONDON, Feb. 17 (YPA) – Pro-Palestinian protesters will demonstrate near the Israeli embassy on Saturday in central London, against the ongoing Israeli army bombardment of the Gaza Strip, ITV channel reported.

Between 200,000 and 250,000 people are expected to gather for the demonstration in central London, a spokesman for the Palestine Solidarity Campaign said.

Around 1,500 police officers from forces across the UK will be on public order duties during the demonstration.

The march will begin south of Marble Arch at 1.30pm and set off along Park Lane, then Knightsbridge and Kensington Road ending at the junction with Kensington Court where speeches will take place.
