Furious Americans for Palestine protesters get nasty shock after demanding Egyptians let them into Gaza

American protesters in Egypt demanding to march to Gaza were left furious after the country's authorities refused to let them cross its border into the war-torn area.
The demonstrators travelled to the region over the weekend in a bid to cross the Egyptian border to Gaza and deliver aid.
Dozen of protesters have been rounded-up onto buses and deported from Egypt, with activists claiming they have been 'violently dragged' and 'beaten'.
But shocking footage captured before the chaos erupted shows how the stubborn protesters refused to abide by Egyptian law, which has regulatory controls for foreigners wishing to visit the Gaza Strip.
Police begged the group to 'please respect our country and our law', but the activists continued to push authorities to let them march.
An officer explains they will arrange for transportation back to Cairo, but an ignorant demonstrator yells out: 'We can do it in America, why can't we do it here?'
'What are you doing hear?' the officer hits back. 'Again, it's our law, okay?'
Egyptian authorities previously stated that foreign protesters must coordinate with them and obtain permission prior to visiting the border.
Thousands of people from 80 foreign countries began to arrive in the Egyptian capital on Thursday, with the intention of marching to the Rafah crossing in Gaza.
The effort was part of the Global March to Gaza - a protest against Israel 's aid blockade on Gaza.
Israel imposed a full 11-week humanitarian blockade on Gaza on March 2, cutting off food, medical supplies and other aid amid its ongoing conflict with the enclave.
Footage captured on the ground in Egypt shows massive groups of demonstrators blocking the country's roads, in scenes reminiscent of marches held on home soil.
Drivers furiously honked their horns as demonstrators filled the streets chanting 'Free Palestine' and waving the Palestinian flag.
The group's actions frustrated locals, police and other western tourists who were on holiday and looking to experience Egypt's rich culture.
Some clips showed protesters being dragged away from road blocks, with locals even accused of whipping them.
It is unclear how long the self-described 'peaceful' protesters disobeyed direct orders from police before things turned violent.
Egyptian authorities and civilians forcibly removed the Gaza aid activists from the road and violently dragged them onto buses, video shows.
One protester, who spoke with an American accent, exclaimed: 'There's people in masks dragging people out.' Others can be heard chanting: 'Free Palestine '.
Around 4,000 volunteers landed in Cairo last week, before taking buses to the city of Arish in the north of the country's Sinai Peninsula.
From there, they hoped to start their planned march, on a roughly 30-mile route, to the Egyptian side of the Rafah crossing on the Gaza border.
But organizers said that several dozen activists were stopped on the edge of Cairo as they attempted to reach the Suez Canal city of Ismailia, which is around a three-hour drive from Arish.
A protester posted a video to social media while on a bus heading there, saying: 'This is an emergency.
'We have just been violently dragged into the buses here at the first checkpoint on the way to Ismailia.
'We were sitting quietly and not doing anything. We were debating that we would leave soon, in taxis back to Cairo because we did not break any law.
'And all of a sudden, several people stormed in and they started to push people and drag them violently outside.
'They have beaten people. I have seen one woman that was beaten in her face in front of me. They didn't leave time to grab the luggage or anything.
'So, this is one of the Secret Service people that was just walking in here. I have to stop this livestream now - we are in danger. This is an emergency. We need to help.'
Most of the activists were ordered onto buses back to the capital after several hours of questioning, but some remain in custody.
'We were blocked for six to seven hours before security forces violently dispersed our group,' one organizer said.
At least one activist was expelled from Egypt, several sources said, adding to dozens more were denied entry or expelled in the run-up to the march.
Egyptian authorities have not commented on the reported expulsions.
Israel's defense minister told the Israeli military last Wednesday to prevent demonstrators entering Gaza from Egypt, and said the march was a threat to Israeli and regional security.
The foreign ministry had warned that while Egypt backs efforts to put 'pressure on Israel' to lift its Gaza blockade, any foreign delegations intending to visit the border area must coordinated in advance with Egyptian embassies or government entities.
Foreign ministry officials also underlined the need to follow official procedures to ensure safety and security.
But organizers say they coordinated with Egyptian authorities, and have urged the government to release those detained.
Groups of foreign participants were being held at checkpoints, and sit-ins had begun at two locations on the road leading to the Rafah crossing, organizers said.
Officials at Cairo International Airport said new directives were issued to airlines requiring all passengers travelling to Egypt between June 12 and 16 to hold confirmed return tickets.

BBC axes new Gaza film

The BBC has pulled a Gaza documentary after its producer took aim at director-general Tim Davie. The broadcaster was forced to apologise in February after being accused of airing a 'propaganda' film, which contained contributions from the son of a leading Hamas minister. BBC bosses have now dropped another planned Gaza film. The decision came after the head of Basement Films, the film's production company, branded Mr Davie a 'PR person' who could not be trusted to make editorial decisions. The BBC had initially delayed the release of the film, Gaza: Doctors Under Attack, while it conducted a review into the disastrous release of its previous Gaza documentary. Ben de Pear, the Basement Films boss, claimed that this delay was decided from a 'PR defensive point of view, rather than a journalistic one', and that the BBC 'stymied' journalists. He had been speaking at the Sheffield DocFest on Thursday. The BBC's decision also came after Ramita Navai, the documentary's director, also made comments on the Today programme. She said during the segment that 'Israel has become a rogue state that's committing war crimes and ethnic cleansing and mass-murdering Palestinians '. It is understood that this partisan view from the filmmaker may have compromised the documentary being presented as an impartial production. A statement from the BBC released on Friday said: 'For some weeks, the BBC has been working with Basement Films to find a way to tell the stories of these doctors on our platforms. 'Yesterday [Thursday], it became apparent that we have reached the end of the road with these discussions.' The BBC added that 'broadcasting this material risked creating a perception of partiality that would not meet the high standards that the public rightly expect of the BBC'. The release of Gaza: Doctors Under Attack had been paused following outrage over the BBC's decision to air the previous film, Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone, a documentary created by production company Hoyo. The broadcaster removed the film from iPlayer after days of criticism over its featuring of children linked to Hamas. The BBC also issued an apology after it was revealed that a major contributor to the programme was the son of Ayman Alyazouri, a Hamas minister. This link was not disclosed to viewers. The BBC said it was not aware of the Hamas link, while Hoyo later claimed the BBC was aware. The BBC faced pressure to release the delayed documentary about doctors in Gaza, and Mr Davie was urged to air the film in an open letter signed by 600 signatories, including Harriet Walter, Miriam Margolyes, Maxine Peake and Juliet Stevenson. They claimed the delay was ' political suppression '. It is understood that no such concerns have been raised about Gaza: Doctors Under Attack, and the BBC said: 'We want to thank the doctors and contributors, and we are sorry we could not tell their stories. The BBC will continue to cover events in Gaza impartially.' The rights to the film will now revert back to Basement Films, which will be free to screen the feature.

Eight men arrested near Iranian embassy in London after 'altercation at protest'

Eight men have been arrested near the Iranian embassy in London after a protest turned violent, police have said. Seven men were detained on suspicion of grievous bodily harm just before 10am on Friday. Separately, a man has been arrested on suspicion of breaching an order imposed by police to prevent serious disorder. "Two men were treated for injuries at the scene and have been taken to hospital for further treatment by the London Ambulance Service," said the Metropolitan Police. The Met Police also confirmed their injuries are not believed to be life-threatening. In a statement, police added: "Conditions have since been put in place to prevent serious disorder. This stops protestors from gathering in the area until 13:00pm on Sunday 22 June. "One man has been taken into police custody after he was arrested on suspicion of breaching the above conditions. "Seven other men remain in police custody after being arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm." The Met Police, who were called to the incident at 09.53am, confirmed the altercation took place on Prince's Gate, which is where the embassy is located. No further details have been released about the injured men, although the London Ambulance Service (LAS) said they were treated at the scene before one was taken to a major trauma centre and the other to hospital. An LAS spokesperson said: "We sent a number of resources to the scene including ambulance crews, paramedics in fast response cars and our Tactical Response Unit." It is not clear how the violence developed or what the demonstration was about, but initial reports suggested it centred around a protest against the Iranian leadership. The Iranian embassy has previously been the target of protests which have turned violent. In September 2022, demonstrators and police clashed outside the building in Knightsbridge. The protest was focused against the Iranian regime after the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini in police custody. The Met Police said five officers were seriously injured and 12 people were arrested in those scuffles. A year later, in September 2023, another rally was held in the same area to mark the first anniversary of Ms Amini's death. A number of national embassies are located on or near Prince's Gate, including those for the UAE, Afghanistan, Ethiopia and Tunisia. Separately, the UK said on Friday it was temporarily withdrawing UK staff from its embassy in Iran due to the ongoing security situation there.

Seven men arrested after two people injured at protest outside Iranian Embassy

Seven men have been arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm after two people were injured during a protest outside the Iranian Embassy. Metropolitan Police officers responded to reports of an altercation in Princes Gate in Knightsbridge, west London, shortly after 9.50am on Friday, a force spokesperson said. Two men were treated for injuries at the scene by the London Ambulance Service (LAS) before one was taken to a major trauma centre and the other to hospital. Their injuries are not thought to be life-threatening. The protest group involved in the incident is said to be 'pro-Iranian monarchy', the force said. The seven arrested men, whose ages have not yet been given, currently remain in police custody. Officers remain at the scene and the area has been cordoned off while initial investigations take place. Police have imposed conditions to stop protestors from gathering in the area until 1pm on Sunday. One man was arrested and taken into custody on suspicion of breaching the conditions. An LAS spokesperson said: 'We were called at 9.56am today (June 20) to reports of an assault in Princes Gate, SW7. 'We sent a number of resources to the scene including ambulance crews, paramedics in fast response cars and our Tactical Response Unit. 'We treated two patients at the scene and took one to hospital and one to a major trauma centre.' Footage shared on social media appeared to show two men lying on the ground in a fenced-off section of the road. One man, who was shirtless, had blood covering his nose and mouth, while the other man lay motionless clutching his left leg and ankle, with police officers attending both individuals. A number of national embassies are located on or near Prince's Gate, including the Embassy of The Islamic Republic of Iran.
