A rally in support of Palestine is expected to be held in High Wycombe this weekend.
The demonstration is being organised by the Wycombe Muslim Communication Forum on Sunday, May 23.
Speeches from different figures in the community are expected to begin at 2pm, finishing around 3.30pm in Corn Market and High Street.
Covid safety restrictions will apply and there will be no march or procession.
There have been a number of protests and demonstrations in solidarity with Palestine amid the ongoing conflict with Israel - including in Dublin, London and Bristol.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson has welcomed Israel’s announcement of a ceasefire to end the 11-day military offensive in the Gaza Strip.
The move came hours after the UK Government pledged to provide a £3.2 million aid package for civilians under attack in the region.
Following news that the Israeli security cabinet has approved an end to the campaign, Mr Johnson tweeted a call for leaders in the region to “find a durable solution” that “prevents terrorism, ends the cycle of violence and delivers a sustainable and just peace”.
