Overview

• The Metropolitan Police confirmed that the Palestinian Solidarity Campaign would be allowed to demonstrate outside the Israeli embassy, with protesters kept more than 100m away.
• The time of the protest has been changed to avoid coinciding with the time members of the Jewish community leave synagogues on Shabbat.
• Around 1,500 police officers will be policing the protest to ensure it takes place safely and any offenses are dealt with promptly.
• Previous protests have seen arrests for hate crime offenses, breach of the Terrorism Act, and violence toward public officials.
• Between 200,000 and 250,000 people are expected to gather for the demonstration in central London.
