Met police are threatening obstacles on Gaza protest, organisers warn
Protesters during a National March for Palestine in central London, January 13, 2024

THE Metropolitan Police are threatening to put obstacles in the way of Saturday’s national protest in central London calling for a ceasefire in Gaza, organisers have said.

The action is part of ongoing weekly protests across Britain and the world for more than three months to call for an end to Israel’s “genocide” against Palestinians.

Hundreds of thousands have been attending the demonstrations despite continued attempts by police forces and the Home Office to criminalise the actions.
