Home Secretary Suella Braverman has said the hundreds of thousands of people taking to the streets in support of Palestine were taking part in "hate marches".
She urged officers to take a "zero-tolerance approach to antisemitism" after attending an emergency Cobra meeting chaired by Rishi Sunak on Monday.
Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley has previously suggested the laws may need to be redrawn so that officers have greater powers to tackle chants deemed to be extremist.

00:00 seen now tens of thousands of people take to the streets following the massacre of Jewish
00:06 people, the single largest loss of Jewish life since the Holocaust, chanting for the
00:12 erasure of Israel from the map.
00:16 To my mind there's only one way to describe those marches.
00:18 They are hate marches.
00:20 What the police have made clear is that they are concerned that there's a large number
00:25 of bad actors who are deliberately operating beneath the criminal threshold in a way which
00:31 you or our vast majority of British people would consider to be utterly odious.
00:36 Now we keep our laws under review and if there is a need to change the law, just as we did
00:42 in relation to Just Stop Oil protests last year, I will not hesitate to act.
