On Saturday, Mr Corbyn appeared alongside the Palestinian ambassador to the UK at a rally in London.
Demonstrators chanted ‘free, free Palestine’, and held banners calling for an end to the bombing of the territory by Israeli forces.
Organisers said demonstrator numbers were estimated at 150,000 for the London protest.
Meanwhile, following their team’s victory over Chelsea in the FA Cup final on Saturday, Leicester City duo Hamza Choudhury and Wesley Fofana held aloft a Palestine flag.
