Protestors in central London were seen holding signs reading "Zionists control the media" at a march through the city.
This was the eighth nation-wide march since the October 7 attack. It was organised by a coalition including the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, Friends of Al Aqsa, Stop the War Coalition and the Muslim Association of Britain.
Demonstrators were heard chanting: "Yemen, Yemen make us proud, turn another ship around" a reference to the Houthi attacks on shipping in the Red Sea.
The march began outside BBC headquarters in Portland Place and was due to finish in Whitehall. A Shahada flag was spotted being waved near the Cenotaph.

One placard waved said "the BBC is an arm of the Zionist propaganda machine", while another stated "Our media, TV, radio and government are controlled by Zionists."
Today's protest took place after organisers said they were initially prevented from concluding their march outside Whitehall.
The Met eventually yielded, but they withheld permission for a second stage of the march in Trafalgar Square. Organisers have said that the decision presented a risk to safety.
However, Deputy Assistant Commissioner David Ward said on Thursday that allowing the Trafalgar Square leg "would have caused serious disruption...to avoid Trafalgar Square becoming too full, we have agreed to just one stage for speakers in Whitehall."

Ahead of the march, the Campaign Against Antisemitism said: "Tomorrow, London will once again become a no-go zone for Jews as yet another anti-Israel demonstration takes place.
"How much more must this country endure before proper action is taken."
In London, Scotland Yard estimated about 10,000 demonstrators had marched through the West End, with the crowd swelling to 20,000 for the speeches in Whitehall.
Thousands of pro-Palestine supporters also gathered in Edinburgh on Saturday in support of an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.

Gaza health authorities, who do not differentiate between militants and civilians in their tallies, say more than 27,000 Palestinians have been confirmed killed since the start of the war, 107 of them in the past 24 hours, with thousands more feared lost amid the ruins.
Israel launched its war on Hamas after the October 7 onslaught by Hamas militants who killed 1,200 people and took 253 people hostage into Gaza, more than 100 of whom are still captive.
Officials from Israel say they aim to eliminate Hamas, which has vowed to repeat its October attacks, and repatriate the hostages, many of whom are women and children.
