Jeremy Corbyn not expected to attend this year's Al Quds Day march

Hundreds of members of the Jewish community are expected to join a counter-demonstration against the march, which in previous years has seen flags of terrorist organisations Hezbollah and Hamas displayed on the streets of the capital.

Nearly 6,500 people signed a petition set up by the North West Friends of Israel group calling for Mayor of London Sadiq Khan to ban the march.

Paul Charney, chairman of the Zionist said: "Year in year out we see its participants supporting terrorism - waving Hezbollah and even Hamas flags, chanting about wiping out the Jewish state and standing side by side with extremism.

"At times like this, it is more important than ever that we counter any support for extremism and terrorism, and stand together to say that there is no place for this expression of solidarity with terrorists on our streets.”
