Police are bracing for one of the largest political protests ever in Britain on Saturday, with organizers expecting up to 500,000 marching in London for Palestinian rights. Counter-protest groups are also mobilizing, prompting police to deploy 1,850 officers over concerns of serious violence between the sides. Police warn they are prepared to use force if necessary to control movements and maintain order. Officers anticipate flashpoints as splinter groups could disrupt the march and far-right activists exploit events. With emotions high over the Israel-Hamas war, the massive demonstration poses major challenges for security services aiming to prevent disorder and attacks on the protesters.
