More protests have been held outside factories across the UK by campaigners against military arms being sent to Israel.

Organizers said more than 1,000 workers and trade unionists demonstrated outside BAE Systems sites, as well as the London offices of the Business and Trade department, the Independent reported. 

They said the aim was to show solidarity with Palestinian workers.

Workers for a Free Palestine group members also protested outside factories in Glasgow, South Wales, and Lancashire.

Tania, a trade unionist and organizer for the group who took part in the London protest, said: “Our movement forced the issue of an arms embargo onto the table and polling shows the majority of the British public want to see arms sales to Israel banned, yet the Government and also the Labour Party continue to ignore the will of the people.

“The Government has sought to play down the scale of its arms supplies to Israel, but the reality is UK arms and military support play a vital role in the Israeli war machine, and evidence that three British aid workers were killed by a drone partly produced in the UK shows the extent of British complicity in Israel’s genocide.”
