London, 24  Dzulqa’dah 1436/ 8 September 2015 (MINA) –  Protesters from all across the UK will gather to express the rejection to the British government’s welcome of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is due to meet with Prime Minister David Cameron on Wednesday in London, WAFA reported.

In a press release issued by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC), Hugh Lanning, a British pro-Palestinian activist and head of PSC, said, “We want to know why David Cameron is welcoming a man directly responsible for UN-identified war crimes to the UK.”

Cameron’s welcome for Netanyahu sends out a very negative message about the UK government’s attitude towards Israel’s serial human rights abuses and the war crimes it committed in Gaza last year,he added.

Cameron should get his priorities straight, Instead of welcoming Netanyahu, he should be imposing immediate sanctions and an arms embargo on Israel until it complies with international law and ends the occupation and the siege on Gaza, Lanning proposed, International Islamic News Agency (IINA) quoted by Mi’raj Islamic News Agency (MINA) as reporting.

The protesters will wear masks of Netanyahu and Cameron and hold family photographs of some of the Palestinians who were killed during the Israeli aggression on Gaza last year.

Scottish National Party (SNP) MP Tommy Sheppard will be among SNP MPs attending the protest, and will address the protesters.
