London is preparing for major demonstrations: 50,000 participants expected

On Saturday, London will be the scene of two major demonstrations, with approximately 50,000 participants at the 'Unite the Kingdom' march led by Tommy Robinson and another 30,000 people at the pro-Palestine rally on Nakba Day.

The Metropolitan Police, fearing possible clashes between the two groups, will deploy an impressive security apparatus, including armored vehicles, police horses, dogs, drones, and helicopters, with a force of 4,000 officers. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer condemned the march, stating that it promotes hatred and division.

The police announced that they will arrest individuals who incite hatred, and for the first time, organizers and speakers can be prosecuted for extremism. Live facial recognition will also be used in the operation, which will cost £4.5 million.

The government has blocked the entry into the United Kingdom of 11 foreign nationals considered 'far-right agitators' ahead of the rally.
