LONDON – The
British Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, described the organization of a solidarity demonstration with the
Palestinian people scheduled for Saturday, which coincides with "Armistice
Day," as "provocative and lacking in respect," adding pressure
on
police to ban the protest.

According to Al-Mamlaka, despite calls from
the authorities to cancel this demonstration, the organizers insist on holding
the march, in which thousands are expected to participate to demand a ceasefire
in the
Gaza Strip, which has been under continuous Israeli aggression for over
a month.
Sunak confirmed that he will hold Chief of
Police Mark Rawley "responsible" for any potential breaches.
The Prime Minister told reporters during his
visit to a school in Lincolnshire (eastern England), "Rawley has confirmed
that he is able to ensure the commemoration and the safety of the people as
well. My role now is to hold him responsible for this decision."
The Chief of Police said on Tuesday evening,
"At the moment, intelligence about possible breaches of the law this
weekend has not reached the threshold that allows for a ban."
He added, "We had clarified that if the
situation changes, we will use the authorities and available means to protect
important national sites and events at any cost."
