The slogan which has faced increased scrutiny in recent weeks as Downing Street described it as 'deeply offensive' to many.
Attiq Malik was pictured leading the controversial chant in 2021 An adviser to the Metropolitan Police has been seen leading a chant of ‘from the river to the sea’ in footage recorded two years ago. Attiq Malik is a solicitor who chairs an official advisory body for Scotland Yard, and advises the force on their response to protests over the Israel-Hamas conflict, The Telegraph has revealed.
The Met’s policing of pro-Palestine marches has been called into question in recent weeks after officers were seen taking no action in response to calls for ‘jihad’. Home Secretary Suella Braverman said the ‘river to the sea’ chant could be understood as ‘an expression of a violent desire to see Israel erased’. She’s asked police to consider whether its use could constitute an offence in some circumstances.
