# British Prime Minister Keir Starmer urged students to skip pro-Palestinian protests planned for the second anniversary of Hamas’s attack in Israel on 7 October 2023, suggesting they were disrespectful. Students from several London universities were due to walk out of classes this afternoon before marching through the centre of the British capital. Rallies or events including vigils were also planned in other UK cities, including Edinburgh, Glasgow, Sheffield and Manchester, where an attack outside a synagogue on Thursday left two people dead.
