Protesters will gather on Saturday and Sunday in two separate pro-Palestine marches. On Saturday, a south west regional protest will take place at College Green calling for the liberation of the Palestinian people.
The protesters will gather at 1pm, as they have been doing almost every two weeks since October. The circular march around the city centre will begin and end at College Green with speakers, including co-founder of Palestine Action Huda Ammori.
Wael Arafat, who went on a three-month hunger strike triggered by an Israeli air killing family member in November, is among those speaking.

A spokesperson from Bristol Palestine Alliance, organisers of Saturday’s protest, said: “We are watching the genocide of Palestinians live on our screens, and still our government continues to give their support and supply arms to Israel.
“The unchecked six-month Israeli bombardment on Gaza, attacks on the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria and Iraq and Israel's provocative attack on the Iranian consulate in Damascus that Iran has now reacted to, have unsettled the entire region and made the world a much more dangerous place. The genocide in Gaza and the supply of arms to israel must end."
