The Metropolitan Police canceled the planned pro-Palestine march due to concerns about disrupting a nearby synagogue, highlighting the Jewish community's worries over recent protests.
Police Deputy Assistant Commissioner Ade Adelekan emphasized, 'We know that this has been a cause of increased concern for many Jewish Londoners who have had to alter their plans...'
The Met stated that allowing a protest near a synagogue on a Saturday, a Jewish holy day, posed an unacceptable risk of significant disruption to attending congregants.
The PSC expressed disappointment over the police's refusal to permit the protest, yet stated they are open to coordinating for a different day to minimize disruption.
