Violent Clash Erupts as London Police Scuffle with Far-Right Protesters at Pro-Palestinian Rally

Tens of thousands of pro-Palestinian protesters marched through central London on Armistice Day, leading to scuffles between far-right counter-protesters and police. The "National March for Palestine" aimed to show support for Palestinians and call for a ceasefire in Gaza. Police launched a major operation to prevent clashes, with officers in riot gear containing the far-right protesters.

The pro-Palestinian rally had a large turnout, and police vowed to prevent the two groups from meeting.
