The British premier today condemned the incidents after police made several arrests.
LONDON: British prime minister Rishi Sunak today condemned some incidents at pro-Palestinian marches in Britain this weekend as “simply not acceptable” after police made several arrests.
London’s Metropolitan Police force said yesterday evening that 15 people were arrested at Saturday’s pro-Palestinian protest in the centre of the British capital. Tens of thousands of people demonstrated in London and other UK cities in support of Palestinians on Saturday, a week after Hamas gunmen launched the deadliest ever attack on Israel after crossing the border from Gaza.Israel declared war on Hamas the next day, unleashing a relentless bombing campaign of Gaza that has flattened neighbourhoods and left at least 2,750 people – mainly civilians – dead in the territory.
Sunak said he had told members of Britain’s Jewish community he would do “everything in our power to keep them safe”.
