Nearly 2,000 police were deployed in London on Saturday, including officers guarding Britain’s national war memorial, as hundreds of thousands gathered in the UK capital for a pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel rally.
Many of the previous demonstrations featured people glorifying Hamas, calls to destroy Israel and antisemitic incidents.
There have also been a number of incidents of pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel chants by crowds using public transportation as they travel to and from the demonstrations.
Police said 1,850 officers were deployed in London for the protest.
“We know the cumulative impact continued protest, increasing tensions and rising hate crimes are having across London and the fear and anxiety our Jewish communities in particular are feeling,” police said in a statement on Friday.
