Sunak tells Jewish school that some acts at London pro-Gaza rally ‘not acceptable’

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak condemns some incidents at pro-Palestinian marches in Britain this weekend as “simply not acceptable” after police made several arrests.

“There is no place in our society for antisemitism and we will do everything we can to stamp it out. And where it happens, it will be met with the full force of the law,” Sunak says during a visit to a Jewish school in London.

London’s Metropolitan Police force said on Sunday evening that 15 people were arrested at Saturday’s pro-Palestinian protest in the center of the British capital.

Three men were subsequently charged with committing crimes, including a 68-year-old man suspected of making racist comments. The other two were charged with illegal knife possession and failing to remove a face covering.

“They’ve made several arrests but they’re also now reviewing footage of some of the things that many people would have seen that are just simply not acceptable, and where they can they will be able to make further arrests,” Sunak adds.
