Police say they are investigating chants of "death to the IDF [Israel Defense Forces]" led by Bobby Vylan, of the punk duo Bob Vylan, at an Al Quds Day protest in central London.

Videos on social media appeared to show Vylan, whose real name is Pascal Robinson-Foster, making a speech at the demonstration before chanting "death, death to the IDF" as the crowd joined in.

Last year, police decided not to bring criminal charges after the group's Glastonbury 2025 performance when Vylan led crowds in chants of "death, death to the IDF".

In a post on X, the Met said: "We are aware of chanting made by a speaker at the Al Quds protest and will be investigating. "We recognise the concern footage and chanting like this causes, particularly with London's Jewish communities.

I agree that Iran is a murderous regime who oppress it's people if they don't follow their strict religion view. It has nothing to do with Palestine thought. Europe care about their people and Ukraine yet supporting the settler colonialism in Palestine . Both things can be true at the same time

Israel is a terrorist state with a supremacist ideology that make them genocide Palestinians and thriving thanks to over 7 decades of western backing . There is not a single excuse to genocide and settler colonialism yet you keep rejecting Palestinians rights to resist and both siding the conflict
