Pro-Palestinian activists rallied outside the British Library in London on Tuesday, demanding a boycott of a concert featuring musicians from the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, accusing the institution of giving a platform to Israeli 'propaganda'.

Footage shows demonstrators waving Palestinian flags, chanting 'Free Palestine' and holding placards accusing Israel of 'terrorism'.

The Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC), which organised the demonstration, accused the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra of having close ties to the Israeli military and using cultural performances to divert attention from Israel's military campaign in Gaza.
