Palestine supporters will take to the streets of London again on Remembrance Sunday in London, but march organisers said they will not protest close to the Cenotaph.
Palestine supporters have been marching in London every Saturday since Hamas attacked Israel on October 7 and the IDF responded with a bombardment of Gaza. The aim of the marches is officially to call for a ceasefire. But some of the attendees, which have attracted hundreds of thousands of people, have sparked controversy with various calls for jihad and intifada, as well as the singing of a violently anti-Semitic chant last Saturday.
The Met said: "This is a weekend with huge national significance. We will use all the powers available to us to ensure anyone intent on disrupting it will not succeed. "Officers will be deployed across London on 11 and 12 November as part of a significant policing and security operation."We're absolutely committed to ensuring the safety and security of anyone attending commemorative events.
