The Home Office could outlaw pro-Palestine marches, under news plans to amend a law that allows processions to be outlawed and public assemblies restricted.

The government is considering altering the Public Order Act, so that police would be empowered to shut down pro-Palestinian protests, which have been taking place every weekend in London since October, the Telegraph reported.

In addition, Gideon Falter, chief executive of the charity Campaign Against Antisemitism , who was threatened with arrest last month for being “openly Jewish”, has held a series of meetings with Home Office and Downing Street officials in recent weeks to discuss how these protests are policed. Mr Falter said that policing of the pro-Palestinian protests has been a “shambles”, with “practically nothing” done to restrict them.
