Pro-Palestine march sets off from Hyde Park on Armistice Day<\/h3>\n

Pro-Palestine protesters are set to take to the streets outside Parliament this week.<\/p>\n

The Palestine Solidarity Campaign has announced plans for the latest demonstration demanding a ceasefire in the Israe-Hamas conflict at 5pm this Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The group is one of the organisers of the marches which have taken place in London on the last five Saturdays.<\/p>\n

In a post on X, formerly Twitter, the PSC said: “Emergency rally for Palestine. On Wednesday MPs will vote on whether to call for a ceasefire in Palestine!<\/p>\n

“Join us at 5pm at Parliament on Wednesday 15 November to demand MPs vote for a ceasefire now.”<\/p>\n

The King’s Speech debate comes to an end on Wednesday. It is at this point that votes usually take place.<\/p>\n

Both the SNP and Labour backbenchers have tabled amendments seeking an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.<\/p>\n

But it is up to Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle to choose which amendments are put to a vote.<\/p>\n

It comes after around 300,000 protesters took part in a controversial pro-Palestine march on Remembrance Day.<\/p>\n

But there were ugly scenes as far-right counter-protesters also turned out.<\/p>\n

Rishi Sunak could give police greater powers to tackle protests following the Armistice Day clashes.<\/p>\n

The Prime Minister is reportedly looking to tighten the laws to make it easier to ban marches.<\/p>\n
