Over the past month, there have been enormous pro-Palestinian protests in London with tens of thousands of people rallying to express their solidarity with the people of Gaza.
On Monday, the Metropolitan Police asked organisers to consider postponing any demonstrations in the UK over the weekend, which coincides with the anniversary of the end of World War I.
Now, a spokesperson for Prime Minister Rishi Sunak says the government will hold an emergency meeting to coordinate the “response to the situation in Israel and Gaza”.
“It will look at a wide range of areas, but it’s obviously particularly focused on the impact of the terrorist attack on the UK domestically, and how we can address some of the importance around community cohesion particularly,” the spokesperson added.
