Angry families of Gaza hostages in march to No10

Palestine recognition 'rewarding terror'

- By Richard Ashmore

FAMILIES of those held by Hamas say Sir Keir Starmer is "rewarding terror" by offering to recognise a Palestinian state before all 50 hostages still in Gaza are released.

Members of the Jewish community and supporters took part in the National March For The Hostages to the gates of Downing Street yesterday to deliver their message.

There were several flareups from counter-protesters and three arrests as the march made its way through central London.

The Metropolitan Police said an individual, who was not part of the march, was held for common assault and a racially aggravated public order offence after the march paused just past Charing Cross.

A scuffle broke out after at least two men shouted "Free Palestine" in front of the march close to Trafalgar Square.

Another man was carried away by officers after another scuffle close to Downing Street.
