UK tells Palestinian group to cancel protest after synagogue attack amid 'grief' concerns for Jews
The UK government has warned Palestinian protest group Asabah to stand down after a planned anti-Israel rally due to concerns it may be overshadowed by grief over a deadly synagogue attack in the country earlier this week. The call for the protest to be canceled comes as authorities urge demonstrators to 'respect the grief of British Jews'.
The UK government has warned Palestinian protest group Asab'a to stand down from a planned anti-Israel demonstration in London after a recent deadly synagogue attack. The event was called off by police following an appeal from Home Secretary Suella Braverman and Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's office, which urged demonstrators to 'respect the grief of British Jews'. The warning comes amid growing tensions over Israeli-Palestinian relations and increasing concerns about violence in the UK. Asab'a had planned a protest outside the Israeli embassy on May 11.
