The Metropolitan Police, which deployed over 4,000 officers to police the marches in what it described as an "unprecedented" public order operation, announced that it had made 31 arrests in relation to the protests by 4.30pm. It did not specify which protest those arrested had attended.
The #NakbaDay march is an annual demonstration organised by a coalition of groups, including the #PalestineSolidarityCampaign, commemorating the expulsion of more than 750,000 #Palestinians from their land and the killing of over 13,000 others by #Zionist militias to make way for the creation of #Israel in 1948.

🗨️ Last night alone, I counted more than fifty attacks - from air (drones), sea, and via artillery fire - ISR troops have advanced at four strategic points from north to south: #GazaCity, #DeiralBalah, #KhanYounis, and #Rafah; it can be assumed that this is accompanied by increased #resistance from Palestinian #gaza forces -- Israel's aim was also to counter protests on #NakbaDay

Please bring candles, art for a rememberance march. We will be building community consciousness and solidarity as we continue to fight for an end to the Zionist Entity's genocide in Gaza and a Free Palestine. We'll also come together to learn about the Nakba from the stories of local community members, learn the history of the more than 531 Palestinian villages that were destroyed, and learn about Seattle's normalization and legitimization of the ethnic cleansing of Palestine, and Zionist settler colonial project. As we build our movement for the next stage of struggle, we'll learn together, build connections, and take action together. We will strive to stay on time and keep the event to 2 hours. Keep an eye out for more details on the vigil, art builds, and community supported carpools.".
Tonight there’s a #NakbaDay vigil at Denny Park in #Seattle at 6:30 PM. Find me on Signal if you’re there (and we're mutuals). https://www.instagram.com/seattlepalestineactionnetwork/p/DXX5dIjjVgY/
Then Sunday there's a rally in Seattle Center which I'll be missing. https://www.instagram.com/nidal.seattle/p/DYFmCZjGDEM/
