Israel supporters planning a rally outside the Palestinian mission in London will be faced by a counter-protest from pro-Palestinians.
Groups including the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, Jews for Justice for Palestinians, Jews for Boycotting Israeli Goods and the Jewish Socialist Group say they will be present outside the venue on Tuesday evening.
The pro-Israel rally, named “#IsraeliLivesMatter - Protest Palestinian Violence and Incitement,” has been organised by the Board of Deputies and the Zionist Federation, as well as other organisations.
They plan to commemorate the victims of the surge in violence in Israel and call on the Palestinian Authority to condemn attacks on Israelis. Board president Jonathan Arkush has called the lack of a response from the PA “nothing short of disgraceful.”
