A small pro-Israel counter-protest is set up outside the Israel Embassy in London, as tens of thousands of anti-Israel protesters march through the city toward the mission.
Pro-Israel activists hold signs reading, “Hamas – using human shields is a war crime” and “For Israel, against antisemitism,” while some anti-Israel, pro-Palestinian protesters chant “From the river to sea,” and hold signs calling Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “Satanyahoo.”
A large police presence can be seen at the mass demonstration. Six arrests have been made so far, the UK’s Metropolitan Police writes on X.
Photos from the demonstration show officers breaking up skirmishes between the two protest groups.
