Hundreds of pro-Palestinian protestors gather around Welsh Parliament to demand sanctions on Israel

Hundreds of pro-Palestinian demonstrators protested outside the Welsh Parliament in Cardiff on Tuesday, calling for an end to Israel's war on Gaza, according to multiple news outlets. Protestors held a long red banner around a vast proportion of the parliament, meant to represent their belief that every red line had been crossed since 'the UK is arming, training and backing Israel's genocide in Gaza', and many Welsh politicians who have remained silent. Protestors are campaigning for an arms embargo and sanctions on Israel. The protest was organised by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign Cymru, Cardiff Stop the War, and BLM Cardiff, among others.
