The pro-Israel protests in London have been significant, with thousands of people gathering to express solidarity with Israel and demand the release of hostages taken by Hamas. These pro-Israel rallies in London have taken place amidst broader demonstrations and protests related to the Israel-Palestine conflict.ย Moreover, the pro-Israel demonstrations have been met with counter-protests and have sometimes led to clashes between different groups.ย
More from the patriotic demonstration in London: good music, a calm and not masked crowd and some big Israeli flags that are waving with pride.
