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.
