UK Police to Receive Enhanced Powers Amid Surge of Pro-Palestinian Protests

The United Kingdom is set to grant police new powers to manage and restrict pro-Palestinian protests following a series of violent incidents, including a synagogue attack. With over 1,000 demonstrators rallying in recent protests, authorities have arrested hundreds at marches despite calls for restraint from the government and police. The situation escalated after the Manchester synagogue attack, leading officials to urge protesters to respect the grief of the Jewish community. As tensions rise, police are prepared to implement stricter measures against repeat protests, which have drawn criticism for allegedly fostering hostility. Pro-Palestinian groups have vowed to escalate their campaigning efforts despite these restrictions.
