Students gathered on Tuesday to attend pro-Palestine protests on university campuses across the UK on the second anniversary of the October 7 attacks on Israel.
Hundreds in London were among those demonstrating against “the beginning of genocide in Gaza”, with students unfurling a banner with the names of killed Palestinians outside King’s College London near the Strand.
Politicians and some Jewish leaders – including Sir Keir Starmer – have expressed concerns over the timing of the protests, which are taking place two years after Hamas murdered at least 1,200 people and kidnapped 251 people.
