Overview
- Around 50 demonstrators gathered outside the Israeli-owned restaurant on Elgin Crescent on Friday night under an International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network banner, with a large police presence.
- Footage showed a protester declaring that Zionists were not welcome in Notting Hill and telling them to get the hell out, as others chanted From the river to the sea.
- The Metropolitan Police said a 35-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of acts intended to stir up religious hatred and later released on bail.
- Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch condemned the demonstration as harassment and incitement against Jews and urged the Home Secretary to deliver stronger police powers.
- Organizers say they have held recurring protests for months citing co-owner Shahar Segal’s link to the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, which faced UN criticism and prompted him to step down as a spokesman.
