Around 1,500 people gathered in central London on Sunday for the UK's largest ever pro-Israel conference.

We Believe in Israel drew people looking to counter the surge in anti-Israel activism that followed last summer's Operation Protective Edge in Gaza.

Luke Akehurst, director of the day-long event, said: "This was a community response to all the delegitimisation of Israel and the boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) movement after the conflict last summer.

"We need to step up our campaigning against movements like the Palestine Solidarity Campaign."
