Gideon Falter said he had been walking in the capital after attending synagogue and was not there to counter-protest.

has apologised after an officer used the term “openly Jewish” to an antisemitism campaigner who was threatened with arrest near a pro-Palestine march.

Metropolitan Police Assistant Commissioner Matt Twist said the officer’s “poor” choice of words was “hugely regrettable”. “Instead of addressing that threat of antisemitic violence, the Met’s policy instead seems to be that law-abiding Jewish Londoners should not be in the parts of London where these marches are taking place."In other words, that they are no-go zones for Jews.”

Crowds waved Palestinian flags, chanted “free Palestine” and held signs calling for a “ceasefire now” and an end to arms sales.
