In a speech outside his Downing Street office, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak called for increased policing around pro-Palestine rallies in the country, saying he wants police to "not merely manage these protests, but police them".
He also made further concerning comments, conflating segments of the pro-Palestinian movement in the UK with "extremists", and added that people in the country on a UK visa could be deported if they "choose to spew hate".
Sunak said that the election of veteran left-wing politician George Galloway to a parliamentary seat was "beyond alarming", accusing him of dismissing the Hamas-led attacks on 7 October.
