Thousands gather for protest against antisemitism in London

Police said they were investigating possible Iranian links to some of the arson attacks referenced at the rally. The Chief Rabbi urged expulsion of the Iranian ambassador and a ban on the IRGC.

Thousands gathered outside Downing Street for the protest led by major Jewish community organisations. Speakers included religious leaders and politicians from multiple parties. The crowd expressed anger at perceived government inaction; booing and applause marked responses to some speakers. The Chief Rabbi called for a national commitment to confront extremism, and urged actions against Iranian influence linked to arson attacks. Three men were arrested at the event, including a man in his 30s found with a knife, and two men in their 60s suspected of carrying batons.

Religious leaders from Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Sikh and Zoroastrian communities signed an open letter describing antisemitism as a problem for all to fix, stating that the country belongs to Jewish people as much as to others and calling for protective action.
