UK considers restrictions on pro-Palestine rallies

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer said banning some pro-Palestinian marches could be justified, citing concerns about public safety and antisemitic incidents.

Speaking to the BBC, Starmer said he supports peaceful protest but added that certain chants are “completely off limits” and may require tougher action.

The comments follow the stabbing of two Jewish men in Golders Green, an area of northwest London with a large Jewish community.

Starmer said some protests may need to be stopped altogether, while authorities increase scrutiny of the language used during demonstrations.
