Israel-Hamas war: Around 100,000 people attend pro-Palestine protest in central London

Around 100,000 demonstrators joined a pro-Palestine march in central London, calling for an end to Israel's bombardment of Gaza. The gathering was marked by some instances of disorder and hate speech, but the majority of the event was peaceful and without incident.
Home Secretary Suella Braverman claimed that the chant "from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" is antisemitic and calls for the destruction of Israel. Jewish organizations have asked prosecutors to clarify whether chanting this slogan is a criminal offense. However, defenders argue that it is a long-standing protest chant seeking a homeland for the Palestinian people.
The conflict between Israel and Palestine has led to thousands of deaths in Gaza, and there are concerns that the situation risks destabilizing the entire Middle East. Foreign Secretary James Cleverly has warned of the escalating divisiveness caused by the conflict.
