Over 70 arrested at London pro-Palestinian rally on eve of Gaza truce

Over 70 people were arrested at a pro-Palestinian rally in Central London on January 18, the largest number since protests began in October 2023, according to the Metropolitan Police.
The rally occurred on the eve of a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, which involves hostages' release and increased humanitarian aid to Gaza.
Police imposed conditions on the rally due to concerns about disruption near a synagogue, leading to accusations against protest organizers of breaching these conditions.
Two independent members of Parliament were interviewed by police after the rally, while protest organizer Benjamin Jamal stated he would contest the charges against him.
