Rishi Sunak has called for unity on Saturday's pro-Palestine march, as police warn there could be serious disorder with counter-protesters also set to come out for Armistice Day. Scotland Yard said on Friday afternoon that an exclusion zone would be put in place covering Whitehall, Horse Guards Parade, the Westminster Abbey Field of Remembrance and other relevant areas, in effect banning those on the march from going to these locations.
He added: "We know there are likely to be groups from both sides who seek each other out later in the day. We have constantly assessed intel throughout the week to ensure it’s a proportionate policing plan in place and I do believe if the groups come together there will be serious disorder." More than 10,000 people have died in Gaza amid Israeli bombing campaign and ground invasion, which follows a Hamas massacre in which over 1,000 were killed.
