Protesters target Wimbledon over Barclays sponsorship links to arms firms
They chanted: 'Barclays bank, you can't hide, we charge you with genocide,' and held banners criticising the bank's alleged investments in defence companies linked to the Israeli military.
Damian McCarthy, 53, a lawyer and organiser with the PSC, told the PA news agency: 'I'm a local resident – and a lot of people in Wimbledon think the genocide in Gaza is appalling.
'We want to raise awareness. Barclays' investment in genocide is wrong.
'It's not about Wimbledon, it's not about tennis, it's about the investment in genocide, and we've got to stop it.'
An artist taking part in the protest unveiled an installation in memory of Hind Rajab, a five-year-old girl killed in Gaza in January 2024 after her family's car was hit by an Israeli tank shell.

UK Government accused of stitching up Palestine Action vote
MPs are set to debate the proscription order later on Wednesday, which – if passed – would make membership and support for the direct action group illegal and punishable by up to 14 years in prison. If MPs vote to approve the proscription order, it would then need to go before the Lords on Thursday afternoon. The proscription order does not relate solely to Palestine Action, but includes three other groups: the "Maniacs Murder Cult", a Moldovan neo-Nazi group, the Russian Imperial Movement – a far-right group aiming to rebuild the Russian Empire – and its paramilitary wing the Russian Imperial Legion. READ MORE: LIVE: Latest updates as MPs vote on proscribing Palestine Action Independent MP and former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn raised the matter in a point of order, as he asked for Palestine Action to be considered separately to the other organisations. He asked deputy speaker Roger Gale: "Can you consult with the Speaker's office about any process that could happen between now and the start of the debate on the statutory instrument on prevention of terrorism, so that the three organisations listed can be voted on separately? "Because I think that would be a proper way of members of the House expressing their views." Responding, Gale told Corbyn: "I thank the right honourable gentleman for his point of order. "I'm afraid that his request is simply, in procedural terms, not possible. "The chair is not responsible for the selection or the grouping of motions such as this. "The motion is and will be put to the House as it is on the order paper."

"This is a stitch up to try and force through the first proscription of a domestic direct action protest group." Jeremy Corbyn's request to vote on the proscription of Palestine Action separately to two neo-Nazi groups, one of which is the 'Maniacs Murder Cult', was rejected. This is a stitch up to try and force through the first proscription of a domestic direct action protest group. — Palestine Action (@Pal_action) July 2, 2025 The Independent Alliance – a group of Independent MPs, which Corbyn is a member of – released a statement ahead of the debate, arguing that the Labour Government's use of the Terrorism Act is "an outrageous clampdown on civil disobedience" and is "an assault on the democratic rights of us all". The statement said: "We unequivocally oppose the proscription of Palestine Action. "Yesterday, at least 24 people were killed in an Israeli strike on a crowded seaside café in Gaza. Among those killed were women, children and the elderly. "Still, our Government allows the supply of arms to Israel. The real crime is the Government's complicity in genocide – and the proscription of Palestine Action is a shameful attempt to silence dissent.

We implore MPs to recognise this gross misuse of state power for what it is: an assault on the democratic rights of us all. "Moreover, we are appalled by the government's cynical move to bundle Palestine Action in with foreign neo-Nazi organisations, as part of one piece of legislation. This represents a transparent ploy by the government to coerce MPs into supporting its authoritarian crackdown on Palestinian solidarity." The statement added: "Today, we look back and celebrate those who protested for the freedoms we enjoy today. Years from now, we will look back and commend those who stood on the right side of history. "The Government will not succeed in shielding itself from accountability. We will continue to demand an end to the UK's military cooperation with Israel. We will continue in our search for truth and justice. And we will continue to campaign for the only path to peace: an end to the occupation of Palestine." The debate is expected at around 5.30pm, with a vote taking place after.

Hamas ‘ready for a ceasefire' but only if a deal ends the war in Gaza
Hamas has suggested it is open to a ceasefire agreement with Israel but insisted on its longstanding position that any deal must bring an end to the war in Gaza. The militant group stopped short of accepting a US-backed proposal announced by Donald Trump hours earlier. The US president said on Tuesday that Israel had agreed on terms for a 60-day ceasefire and urged Hamas to accept the deal before conditions worsen. He has been increasing pressure on the Israeli government and Hamas to broker a ceasefire and hostage agreement and bring about an end to the war. Mr Trump said the 60-day period would be used to work towards ending the war — something Israel says it will not accept until Hamas is defeated. He said a deal might come together as soon as next week. Hamas's response raised questions about whether the latest offer could lead to an actual pause in fighting. Hamas official Taher al-Nunu said the militant group was 'ready and serious regarding reaching an agreement', adding that the group is 'ready to accept any initiative that clearly leads to the complete end to the war'. A Hamas delegation is expected to meet Egyptian and Qatari mediators in Cairo on Wednesday to discuss the proposal, according to an Egyptian official. Throughout the nearly 21-month war, ceasefire talks have repeatedly faltered over whether the war should end as part of a deal. Hamas has said it is willing to free the remaining 50 hostages, fewer than half of whom are said to be alive, in exchange for a complete Israeli withdrawal from Gaza and an end to the war. Israel says it will only agree to end the war if Hamas surrenders, disarms and exiles itself, something the group refuses to do. An Israeli official said the latest proposal calls for a 60-day deal that would include a partial Israeli withdrawal from Gaza and a surge in humanitarian aid to the territory. The mediators and the US would provide assurances about talks on an end to the war, but Israel is not committing to that as part of the latest proposal, the official said. It was not clear how many hostages would be freed as part of the agreement, but previous proposals have called for the release of about 10. Israel has yet to publicly comment on Mr Trump's announcement. On Monday, he is set to host Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for talks at the White House, days after Ron Dermer, a senior Netanyahu adviser, held discussions with senior US officials about Gaza, Iran and other matters. On Tuesday, Trump wrote on social media that Israel had 'agreed to the necessary conditions to finalize the 60 Day CEASEFIRE, during which time we will work with all parties to end the War'. 'I hope, for the good of the Middle East, that Hamas takes this Deal, because it will not get better — IT WILL ONLY GET WORSE.' Gaza's health ministry said the death toll passed the 57,000 mark on Wednesday, after hospitals received 142 bodies overnight. The ministry does not differentiate between civilians and combatants in its death count, but says that more than half of the dead are women and children. Since dawn on Wednesday, Israeli strikes killed a total of 40 people across the Gaza Strip, the ministry said. Hospital officials said four children and seven women were among the dead. The director of the Indonesian Hospital, Dr Marwan Sultan, was killed in an apartment in an Israeli strike west of Gaza City, a hospital statement said.
