The UK braces for Remembrance Sunday as Deputy Prime Minister Oliver Dowden calls an emergency Cobra meeting.
The session, prompted by the recent Israel-Hamas conflict, aims to assess potential impacts on British soil and community harmony.
Amid plans for contentious demonstrations, PM Rishi Sunak’s office has termed a proposed pro-Palestinian march on Armistice Day as “provocative and disrespectful,” emphasising respect for the solemn occasion.
Prime Minister’s spokesperson said that the meeting “will look at a wide range of areas but it’s obviously particularly focused on the impact of the terrorist attack on the UK domestically”.
While the government ponders intervention, the ultimate call on the march’s fate lies with the Metropolitan Police.
Downing Street states that the nation’s leadership stands united in prioritising respect during this key time of remembrance.
