An Iranian dissident waving an Israeli flag was chased down by Palestinian protesters during a march in central London, new footage has shown.
Vahid Beheshti, who has camped outside the Foreign Office for the past 236 days, was attacked three times by pro-Palestine supporters on Saturday.
The crowd, one of whom was holding a picture aloft of Qasem Soleimani, an Iranian general killed in a US airstrike in 2020, stormed Mr Beheshti’s camp and ripped an Israeli flag he had on display.
Iran is widely seen as one of the main backers of Hamas, the terrorist group who killed more than 1,300 Israelis, including children and the elderly, in a surprise attack last week.
When Mr Beheshtirecovered the flag, he was chased back to his camp by dozens of Palestinian protesters.
