This is the best summary I could come up with:
A Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) march will take place in central London this weekend, the fifth major demonstration of the year so far in the city.
Commander Karen Findlay, who will oversee policing across London on Saturday, said people committing criminal offenses during protests would be dealt with “decisively and swiftly”.
In a statement, Findlay said: “We are clearly operating in a context where we understand our Jewish and Muslim communities continue to be highly concerned about antisemitic and anti-Muslim hate crime and their sense of safety in London.”
Findlay’s statement comes as the government’s counter-extremism official warned that London’s streets have become a “no-go zone for Jews” during pro-Palestinian protests.
Itai Galmudy said that pro-Palestinian demonstrations had created “no-go zones for Jewish people” in the capital and “ballooned into anti-Israeli hate marches”.
Galmudy, aware that some individuals might be afraid to take the risk of encountering violence, said he was expecting “50-100 people maximum” to attend the counter-protest.
