Man Climbs Big Ben with Palestinian Flag, Triggering Major Emergency Response

London police, fire, and rescue services worked to safely resolve the situation at the Elizabeth Tower, as the man's motives remain unclear.

A man climbed the Elizabeth Tower, home to the iconic Big Ben, in London on Saturday morning, carrying a Palestinian flag.
The Metropolitan Police, along with fire and rescue services, responded to the scene to manage the situation and ensure public safety.
Images showed the man barefoot on a ledge of the tower's facade, with emergency personnel using a ladder to communicate with him.
Authorities have not disclosed the man's motives, and questions remain about how he bypassed the parliament's strict security measures.
The area surrounding the tower was cordoned off as emergency teams worked to resolve the incident without injury.
