Organisers are hoping a demonstration against Israeli action in Gaza in Cork this Saturday will be the largest the city has ever seen.

The Cork Palestine Solidarity Campaign also said that even if a truce was agreed in the coming days, the protest — at 1pm on Saturday at Cork City Library — will be just as important.
