Controversy Erupts as UK Officials Clash with Pro-Palestine Demonstrators

British Home Secretary Suella Braverman has faced criticism for referring to pro-Palestine protesters as "hate marchers" and accusing the police of double standards. Tens of thousands of people have been protesting in London against Israel's bombing campaign in Gaza, with a planned protest coinciding with Armistice weekend. Despite pressure, the Metropolitan Police cannot legally ban the march due to insufficient intelligence of public disorder. Braverman's comments drew heavy criticism from opposition politicians and activists, who accused her of exploiting the situation for her own political gain. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, who initially called the protests disrespectful, later acknowledged the right to peaceful protest.
