In an interview, Labour leader Keir Starmer said authorities could prohibit pro‑Palestinian demonstrations that call for an intifada, citing recent antisemitic incidents. The comment follows a stabbing of two men in Golders Green, a London suburb with a large Jewish community. Starmer faces pressure to act while balancing public order and freedom of protest.
