Tens of thousands marched in central London on Saturday in two rival protests — one pro-Palestinian marking Nakba Day and another far-right rally led by Tommy Robinson. Police deployed 4,000 officers, including reinforcements and advanced technology, to keep the groups apart and maintain order, arresting 11 people by midday.
On Nakba Day, Iran reaffirmed the inviolable right of Palestinian refugees to return to their homeland, calling it non-negotiable. Tehran urged the international community to act to protect this right amid rising Middle East tensions. Analysts see the stance as part of Iran's diplomatic strategy to bolster its regional influence.
Activists hoisted a Palestinian flag on the Eiffel Tower in Paris on Nakba Day, commemorating the 1948 displacement of Palestinians. The protest, captured on video by Al Jazeera, drew attention to the ongoing plight of Palestinians. French authorities have yet to comment on the action.
