The BBC explains your rights regarding the carrying of symbols such as the Palestinian flag.
On 7 October Hamas gunmen launched an attack on Israel from the Gaza Strip, killing more than 1,400 people and taking more than 220 hostages.
Under the Act, someone can be found guilty of an offence if they have "intent to cause a person harassment, alarm or distress".Peter Walker, a human right's solicitor, explained to the BBC: "There are no laws that ban any country's national flag to be hung on private property." In a written reply to the BBC, Mr Walker said it would be "extremely unlikely that waving a Palestinian flag could ever be construed as intending to glorify acts of terrorism, but said the important thing to remember was context".
"Where harassment is identified, I would encourage the police to take swift and appropriate enforcement action." During the protest, some people chanted "from the river to the sea", referring to the land between the River Jordan and the Mediterranean.Ms Braverman had previously urged police chiefs to consider interpreting those words as an "expression of a violent desire to see Israel erased from the world".
