Police said they have an obligation to uphold the right to protest, but when any activity “crosses into criminality” it will take action.

Three people have been arrested after around 2,000 pro-Palestine demonstrators took to the streets near the London Israeli embassy.

The arrests were confirmed to The Epoch Times by the Metropolitan Police, who said officers will continue to have an “enhanced visible presence” on the streets of London to reassure the public, particularly in London’s Jewish communities.
