Overview

• Tens of thousands marched through central Rome, blocking streets and ending at Piazza San Giovanni, according to organizers.
• Italian police said they identified about 200 people after clashes near Termini, where a car was set on fire and officers used water cannon and tear gas.
• London’s Trafalgar Square rally targeted the government’s ban on Palestine Action, imposed in July under anti-terrorism powers after an RAF base break-in.
• London police reported 442 arrests linked to the protest, and the organizing group Defend Our Juries condemned the recent deadly attack on a Manchester synagogue.
• Prime Minister Keir Starmer urged demonstrators to respect the grief of British Jews and avoid inflaming tensions, as recent protests have also produced arrests of elderly and disabled participants and public praise for the banned group is treated as support for terrorism.
