A pro-Palestine march which organisers claim could attract “hundreds of thousands” of protesters is to take place in London on Saturday, as police said the risk of disorder is not high enough to seek a ban.

The march organised by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) will assemble at Parliament Square from 12pm and set off half-an-hour later on a route ending at Hyde Park, where speeches will be given.

The group said it expects “hundreds of thousands of people” to attend the event in response to Israel’s “brutal attack” on Gaza.

A static demonstration organised by pro-Israel group Enough is Enough will take place at the same time in Pall Mall, along the route of the pro-Palestine march.

A third demonstration organised by the Campaign Against Antisemitism (CAA) was due to take place on Saturday from 12pm until 2pm but was cancelled the day before.

The organisation said it cancelled the “walk together” event – expected to attract thousands of people – after receiving threats and identifying “hostile actors” who posed a risk to the safety of Jews.

The now-cancelled CAA event had been arranged after the organisation’s founder, Gideon Falter, was threatened with arrest at a pro-Palestinian demonstration earlier this month, with one officer describing Mr Falter, who was wearing a kippah, as “openly Jewish”.

Kevin O’Sullivan is joined by former Met Police detective Peter Bleksley to discuss.
