Campaigners to hold protest against Met for hosting Israeli police delegation
Police officers stand in front of protesters in Kensington, central London, after a march in solidarity with the people of Palestine on May 22, 2021.

CAMPAIGNERS in east London are hosting a vigil tomorrow against the Metropolitan Police’s “disturbing” decision to welcome a police delegation from Israel to the area. 

Hackney police sparked fury last month after announcing on Twitter that the force had been delighted to host a delegation from Israel, which it said also joined a local police patrol.

The visit took place just days after Israeli security force officers fatally shot Palestinian journalist Shireen Abu Akleh and attacked mourners at her funeral.
