Both Israel and Hamas claimed victory in the recent conflict.
At the protest, former Labour shadow chancellor John McDonnell said: "Yes, a ceasefire has been negotiated and we welcome a ceasefire.
"But let's be clear, there will be no ceasefire in our campaign to boycott, disinvest and sanction the Israeli apartheid state.
"The message is clear, we will not cease our campaign in solidarity until there is justice.
"So let's make it clear, no justice, no peace."
It comes as other protests are taking place across the capital, including an anti-racism protest to commemorate George Floyd, who died almost one year ago.
Around a dozen campaigners from Stand Up To Racism held placards and chanted outside the US embassy in Nine Elms on Saturday morning.
Police officers watched on as protesters unveiled banners reading “Black Lives Matter”.
The activists chanted “No justice, no peace, no racist police” before a number of speeches were made on “systemic racism which exists in the UK”.
Elizabeth Adofo, an organiser of the protest, said: “We are here today to mark one year since the murder of George Floyd at the hands of racist police officers.
“And it’s been one year since everyone across the world marched in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement.
“We’re here to say it’s still important, even after the cameras stop showing up, even after the big crowds on the streets, it is still important to spread that message.

There is no Palestine .Very was and never should be.
Too bad the UDF can’t use a neutron weapon on Gaza .
Screw the pathetic Pal protestors in UK and elsewhere . They can all go bugger themselves
They won’t be happy until every Jew on the planet is dead, and history no longer recognizes them as a people.
Protesting in support of evil makes strange bedfellows.
This ties into the other post about the activist leader killed at 3 am during a house party...
Israel isn’t about to let BLM get involved in their struggles.
Sorry, not killed...shot and in critical condition
Pa-LOSE-tinians and their useful idiots
Anyone know the size of the Muslim population in London???? - they do have a Muslim mayor.
It hardly seems suprising given the current circumstances in London.
“”So let’s make it clear, no justice, no peace.””
No peace, no pulse.
The palestinians in gaza and our inner city citizens seem to have a lot in common. They are oppressed by the leaders they allow and the decisions they make. Sad. But free will.
BLM is an anti-Zionist and antisemitic group everywhere
