Several MPs have expressed concern about the Met Police's attempts to prevent the upcoming Pro-Palestine march, asserting that the restrictions may infringe on the right to protest.
The police have clarified that they are not outright banning the demonstration, but rather trying to avoid significant disruption to the nearby synagogue during Shabbat.
In response to police actions, Labour MP John McDonnell tabled a motion urging the lifting of restrictions, emphasizing the importance of allowing the Pro-Palestine march to occur.
The Campaign Against Antisemitism supported the police's measures, arguing that prolonged protests in central London have created an environment that feels unsafe for the Jewish community.
