UK Home Secretary Suella Braverman has sent a letter advising that the police should consider whether to view acts like waving the Palestinian flag or chanting "from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free", as a crime.
On Monday evening, thousands of protesters gathered outside the Israeli embassy in London, waving Palestinian flags and chanting "Free Palestine". Three people were arrested.
