Hundreds of thousands expected at pro-Palestinian rally in London

The “National March for Palestine” has been at the centre of political controversy amid claims that holding the event on Armistice Day is disrespectful to veterans and could result in violence.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has labelled the decision to rally on  November 11 as “provocative and disrespectful” and expressed concern the Cenotaph and other war memorials could be desecrated.

British Home Secretary Suella Braverman, who has come under fire for describing recent pro-Palestine demonstrations in the UK as “hate marches”, has condemned the planned march as “entirely unacceptable”.
