Tens of thousands of people gathered for pro-Palestinian demonstrations across the UK last weekend.
Pro-Palestine marchers have a right to protest but should “be mindful” of the “fear and distress felt by many families in this country”, Downing Street has said.
He had told Sky News: “There is no need, there is no necessity for people to come out. It causes distress.” “With regard to clamping down on antisemitism and any forms of hatred and abuse, we’re very clear that the police should take the strongest action where they see that and use the full extent of the law to crack down on criminality.”
The Israeli military has relentlessly attacked Gaza in retaliation for Hamas’s devastating attack, which caught the country off-guard during Simchat Torah, a major holiday.A further march starting at Marble Arch has been planned for Saturday, while the Board of Deputies has organised a London rally for Sunday in solidarity with hostages taken by Hamas and the hostages’ families.
“I’m sure I speak for all of us when I say were truly heartbroken at what’s happening in Israel and Gaza.”
