London police chief faces calls to quit over Gaza protests

The head of London’s Metropolitan (Met) Police is facing calls to quit over the force’s handling of pro-Palestinian protests.Both the Campaign Against Antisemitism (CAA) and former UK home secretary Suella Braverman have called for Sir Mark Rowley to resign or be sacked, accusing him of having “emboldened” antisemites.

Braverman used an op-ed in



The Sunday Telegraph to demand Rowley’s resignation, saying people who were “flagrantly antisemitic” were being “waved on by the police.”

She said: “Either this is gross incompetence, or it’s a culture coming from the top, where thugs are free to intimidate and harass while the rest of us have to keep our mouths shut and stay out of the way.”
