Protests have erupted in London as demonstrators gathered at Whitehall to oppose a controversial new law passed by Israel.


The legislation introduces the death penalty as a default sentence for certain offenses in military courts targeting Palestinians, drawing widespread international criticism.


Crowds of protesters took to the streets, chanting and holding placards, calling the law “abominable” and accusing Israel of violating international law and human rights principles.


The demonstration reflects growing global concern over the implications of the policy, particularly as tensions remain high in both Gaza and the West Bank.


Activists warned that the move could further inflame an already volatile situation, deepening divisions and escalating violence across the region.


Protesters also demanded accountability, urging world leaders to take a stronger stance and push for measures that uphold justice and human rights.


The development comes at a time of ongoing conflict, where humanitarian concerns continue to mount and calls for de-escalation are growing louder.


As demonstrations continue, the issue is drawing increasing attention worldwide, highlighting the broader debate over law, justice, and human rights in conflict zones.
