Two women have been held on suspicion of inciting racial hatred following an incident in Trafalgar Square yesterday - with the Met Police chief warning 'many more arrests will follow' as pro-Palestinian protests in London continue.
' He added that police 'robustly enforce up to the line of the law' and about 100 people had been arrested at demonstrations held since the Hamas attack on Israel three weeks ago. 'We're going to be absolutely ruthless and we have been and you'll see many more arrests over the next week or so.' Some government ministers have been critical of the policing of pro-Palestinian rallies - which come against the backdrop of worsening conflict in the Middle East.
