Outside, protest organiser Sharon Sochat told Sky News: "We're here protesting to this meeting, we're protesting that he's being welcomed in the UK, despite the assault on Israeli democracy in Israel at the moment.

"We're not going to let this happen, we're not going to let Netanyahu let our country down."

'Judicial coup'

Fellow protester Gilad Mandelboim said: "What Benjamin Netanyahu is doing is wrong, he is destroying the Israeli democracy."

Talli, an Israeli tech worker who has been living in London for six years, said she was protesting against Mr Netanyahu's "judicial coup".

"He's trying to gain power while on trial and he's trying to turn Israel into a non-democratic country," she said.

"We want not just Rishi Sunak but the international community and leaders to apply pressure on Netanyahu - whether it's financial deals, or anything at all - to back down on this coup.

"My family and friends all live in Israel and I'm worried about their futures."

'War for human rights'

Amnon Cohn said: "We're here to protest against Netanyahu, to protest against his attacks on democracy."

Liron Rosiner Reshef said: "This is a war for human rights... This is a war for all Israelis to fight."
