Pro-Palestinian and pro-Israeli demonstrators clashed outside British Prime Minister David Cameron's London residence on Wednesday ahead of a visit by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Police officers separated the two groups into pens and took away at least two protesters following scuffles and chanting by both sides, according to an AFP photographer.
"At around midday a number of demonstrators made their way out of both pens and onto Whitehall, briefly blocking the road," police said in a statement. "A small number of protestors were arrested for a variety of offences including obstruction, assault and criminal damage to a motor vehicle," it added.
