London police are deploying an additional 4,000 officers to manage two significant marches scheduled for the same day. These demonstrations include Tommy Robinson’s ‘Unite the Kingdom’ march and the annual ‘Nakba day’ pro-Palestine march. The director of the British Palestinian Committee, Sara Husseini, stated that British Palestinians feel unable to speak openly about the war in Gaza. She indicated a growing climate of hostility towards Palestinian identity and activism in the UK, with some individuals expressing fear of displaying Palestinian symbols or wearing Arabic jewelry and keffiyehs in public.
