Israel has been attacking Palestinian Gaza for more than a month. In the wake of the incident, there have been several demonstrations in the UK protesting the attack and demanding a ceasefire. But Saturday’s protest was the biggest. There was extreme tension in the UK around this protest.

As a result, there is no opportunity to stop this protest at the request of the government.
