The Palestinian ambassador to the UK, Husam Zomlot, is requesting increased security after the Palestinian embassy in London was targeted by masked individuals waving Israeli and British flags on Saturday. The embassy building was defaced with stickers, including pro-IDF messages, raising concerns for staff safety. This incident follows previous attacks and death threats reported when the building was the Palestinian mission. Another demonstration was planned for Friday. Zomlot has formally requested British authorities to provide immediate and comprehensive protection for the embassy and its personnel, urging a full investigation and accountability for those responsible. He emphasized that such actions will not deter efforts to strengthen Palestine-UK relations.
