- Story Text: Protesters gathered outside London's Downing Street on Saturday (June 12) demanding leaders of the Group of Seven (G7) countries to stop selling arms to Israel.
Downing Street is the official residence of Prime Minister Boris Johnson who is hosting the three-day G7 summit in southwest England.
Carrying placards reading "Free Palestine" and "#Stop arming Israel" demonstrators were seeking to pressure the G7 to take action and cease selling weapons to Israel.
Israeli-Palestinian violence flared last month in 11 days of intense fighting between Israel and Palestinian militants in Gaza. A fragile ceasefire is largely holding, though tension remains high.
