On Saturday, thousands joined a protest in central London supporting Palestinians, organized by the Palestine Coalition. Participants marched from Piccadilly to Whitehall, displaying signs against arms supplied to Israel. A counter-protest was organized separately by Stop The Hate, but police maintained order without incidents. The Metropolitan Police enforced guidelines based on the Public Order Act, limiting protest times and routes. Former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn was notable among participants, underscoring the political significance of the support for Palestinian concerns in light of ongoing conflicts.
Thousands of protesters marched through central London on Saturday in the latest show of support for Palestinians.
Police said the demonstration, including when it passed counter-protesters, passed without incident.
Pro-Palestine protesters marched holding signs and banners that read 'stop arming Israel' and 'open your eyes Keir, see what Israel is doing'.
The Met Police had imposed conditions under the Public Order Act on both protests meaning participants of the pro-Palestine demonstration could not assemble before 12pm.
