Some people chanted ‘from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free’, despite controversy around the slogan’s meaning.
Eleven people have been arrested after thousands of pro-Palestinian protesters gathered in London’s Trafalgar Square demanding a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war.
At least one protester was seen carrying a banner which read “Let’s keep the world clean” with a picture of an Israeli flag being thrown into a bin.A similar banner displayed at a protest in Warsaw was condemned by the Israeli ambassador to Poland as “blatant antisemitism”. Home Secretary Suella Braverman has previously branded the slogan antisemitic and claimed that it is “widely understood” to call for the destruction of Israel.The Metropolitan Police issued a dispersal order for an area around the square. The order will remain in force until 1am.
Other speakers led chants of “free, free Palestine” and were cheered by the large crowd which filled the famous square in central London.
