On March 3, the British capital London witnessed two large-scale opposing protests. Thousands gathered in the city center, including pro-Palestine supporters and far-right groups.
The pro-Palestine march was part of a global campaign calling for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. Participants carried Palestinian flags, banners, and chanted slogans opposing Israeli military actions. They paraded through major streets, urging the UK government to more strongly condemn attacks on Gaza civilians.
Simultaneously, a far-right protest took place at a nearby location. Attendees carried banners and symbols of nationalist organizations, opposing immigration and multicultural policies. Police deployed in large numbers to prevent direct clashes between the two sides.
London police reported arresting several individuals for public order offenses. Roads around the protest areas were temporarily closed, disrupting traffic in the city center. UK authorities urged people to avoid the area and monitor official updates.
