Massive Pro-Palestinian Rally in London Sparks Controversy and Security Concerns

Hundreds of thousands of protesters are expected to join a pro-Palestinian march in London on Saturday, despite criticism from Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and concerns about potential violence on Armistice Day. The police are preparing for the event, with nearly 2,000 officers on duty, and have warned of possible disorder. The march, organized by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, will avoid the Cenotaph war memorial near Sunak's office and conclude at the U.S. embassy. While previous marches have been generally peaceful, there have been arrests for offenses such as supporting Hamas. Far-right groups are also expected to gather, raising concerns about violence.
