While there is some debate over the exact figure, this would make it the biggest since weekly marches began when the Israel-Gaza war began last month We know that for London’s Jewish communities, whose fears and concerns we absolutely recognise, the impact of hate crime and in particular antisemitic offences is just as significant. Suella Braverman has come under fire for her part in “inflaming tensions”. Anti-fascist group Hope Not Hate called for the home secretary to resign, while politicians, including Yvette Cooper and Sadiq Khan both highlighted the negative effect of the home secretary’s comments.

There is maybe a smattering of people who think us marching on Armistice Day is inappropriate but we enjoy great public support. We understand we are marching in step with Scottish public opinion. If you believe in international law, if you believe in human rights, then you must condemn what is happening now in Gaza by the Israeli army.” Destruction caused by the bombing of a house in central Khan Younis, south of the Gaza Strip, on Tuesday.Speaking to the BBC Radio 4's PM programme earlier, the former inspector of constabulary, Zoë Billingham, said Rowley had been "vindicated” in letting the protest go ahead. Nine police officers were injured on Saturday. Two officers required hospital treatment after preventing a violent crowd getting to the Cenotaph during a remembrance service. While the rallies Nesrine Malik refers to are indeed expressions of solidarity, helplessness and frustration, these emotions are directed in large part to the existence of the state of Israel. As Malik observes, “Palestine is not the world’s only injustice, but it is singularly resonant.” This resonance occurs because the creation of Israel triggers persistent guilt on the political left for being the last major colonisation endorsed by the empires of the west. Hence a desire to dismantle this occupation – not the illegal occupation in the West Bank, but the occupation of the whole space between the river and the sea.

Police Scotland has not asked organisers to consider postponing any pro-Palestinian demonstrations on Armistice Day.

Twist added that nine police officers had been injured on Saturday, with two requiring hospital treatment: one with a fractured elbow and another with a suspected dislocated hip. Those officers were injured on Whitehall as they prevented a violent crowd getting to the Cenotaph while a remembrance service was taking place, he said. Six activists with Israel flags attended the demonstration as a counter-protest but they were outnumbered by pro-Palestine activists, PA reported. Here, protesters will demonstrate against US President Joe Biden’s support for Israel and refusal to call for a ceasefire.

'We're here for peace': Pro-Palestine protestors rally in Bournemouth

It’s welcome that the police have confirmed that the march will be away from the Cenotaph and they will ensure that the timings do not conflict with any Remembrance events. There remains the risk of those who seek to divide society using this weekend as a platform to do so. That is what I discussed with the Metropolitan Police Commissioner in our meeting. The Commissioner has committed to keep the Met Police’s posture under constant review based on the latest intelligence about the nature of the protests. Some of the content published by the campaign appears to conflate support for Palestine with the endorsement of various violent and repressive views. Raghad Altikriti of the Muslim Association of Britain told LBC earlier this week that "the banning of this protest would be dishonouring the memory of those who fought for freedom of speech, freedom of assembly."

In a statement issued on Friday, the PSC said: “More than 500,000 people are expected to converge in London, making it one of the largest political marches in British history.” Things in the Avdiivka sector have become even tougher," Mr Barabash told the media outlet Espreso TV.The fighters will form part of new units of the Russian defence ministry and the Russian National Guard forces.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak condemned what he described as "unacceptable scenes" across the day, saying violence "utterly disrespects" the armed forces
