Nigel Farage has warned of a 'religious war' in the UK, as concerns continue to grow over the scale of UK based protests in favour of Palestine.
The demonstrations began after terrorist organisation Hamas inflicted an unprovoked attack on Israel on October 7, sparking a war in the Middle East.
In recent weeks, demonstrations in support of Palestine have emerged across Britain, in particular London, where the capital saw over 100,000 people take to the streets with posters, flags and flares.
The Metropolitan Police has been widely criticised amid the demonstrations, on their efforts in handling the protests.

Some participants in the protests have been shouting anti-Semitic chants and calling for "jihad', as well as 'free Palestine'.
Met Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley has defended the force, stating that some lines in the law "may need to be re-drawn".
Reacting to the most recent protests to take place around the Cenotaph, Nigel said he "never thought" he's see Islamic call for prayer "taking place outside two of our biggest and most important national symbols".
Nigel added that the sights seen in London at the weekend were "disturbing".
Nigel continued: "This is all because our political class decided, and if we go back to the 1997 general election, it was Tony Blair, Alistair Campbell and Peter Mandelson who decided that they would rub the noses of the right in diversity, mass immigration, diversity for the sake of it.
"Peter Mandelson was in newspapers over the course of the weekend. He's going to be doing a big new podcast for the Times newspaper, How to win an election. Well, maybe Peter Mandelson, what we should be asking you is how to ruin a country.
He highlighted: "Those of us that were sceptical about immigration on this scale is if you have that large a number of people that come, actually it becomes impossible to integrate into society something with the way that we had done better, I think, than all the other European countries until Blair came to power."
Nigel then praised Home Secretary Suella Braverman, who spoke out on the demonstrations, branding them "hate marches".

Nigel said: "What she means by that is that basically there are people there who are celebrating what happened in Israel, those awful events on the 7th of October."
Speaking on recent events in Russia where thousands stormed an airport in an attempt to target Jewish plane passengers, Nigel stated "it isn't just on the streets of London that we see things that we find disturbing".
He said: "It's happening everywhere. It's happening in Paris, it's happening in Brussels, it's happening in Berlin, where the slogan of 1945 have never again seems to have been totally and utterly forgotten.
"And I just wonder, and maybe it is a very strong thought, but I just wonder, are we heading towards some form of religious war?"
