Met has now agreed assembly time and place for Saturday. March will be leaving at 2.30pm from Regent St, near Piccadilly Circus, Central London and ending at Kensington High Rd (near Israel Embassy).
The second one means anyone who looks like a protestor is in breach of they are outside the assembly area and proceeding along the route.
The first one applies to the organisers as a whole?

Originally the PSC march was due to assemble from 1200, departing at 1300, as with previous London marches. Coaches from other cities were booked to arrive in line with those times.
This week (Monday) a pro-Israel group announced it would be holding an event near the Israeli Embassy at around the time the PSC march would be due to arrive. This was a blatant attempt to get the PSC march moved in time or place. Until Thursday the Met were insisting that the PSC march would not be allowed to begin until 1430, which would have meant that people arriving for the scheduled 1300 start would have arrived early, and may also have not been able to get their coach home.
On Friday the Met moved a bit, accepting that the PSC march could start at 1330. The conditions you point out are presumably because they intend to prevent the march moving off any earlier, and are likely to contain or arrest any early attendees who might find themselves somewhere on the route march before 1330.

Looks like the counter demo went ahead but it was separated from end point of the PSC march.
I was at march and didn't see anything. From this twitter the other demo was further down the road.
I certainly found it all confusing with changes of times. And wonder if it affected turnout.
What I don't understand is why police wanted march time changed at such short notice.
Could they not be have said to the other lot no. But you can have demo further down the road
What I also find annoying is that the PSC demos have all been good natured with little to no trouble.
Yet the very fact of them causes them to be viewed negatively.

I was chatting to some one on the march whose grandparents were east European Jews. Members of the Bund. Who brought there socialism with them to UK. She was descended from several several generations of socialists. She said Bund were anti Zionist. Bund had been major socialist group.

I wouldn't use that language but yes I now think Zionist supporters of Israel in this country are supporting genocide.
PSC are mainstream lobbying group who support Palestinian rights.
Everything they do is within the law.
The demos are well stewarded and the people on them are well behaved.
The Zionist lobby in this country have imo done themselves no favours.
That goes from the Chief Rabbi down to these Zionist outfits.
So yes I thought the Chief Rabbi interjection when Lammy agreed some arms license reduction showed him to be a full on Zionist
Having a go at Lammy for the very limited arms license reduction shows them to be the extremists. Any sane person would think this Labour government is still supporting Israel and doing the minimum when it has to stop some arms.
If I were a sensible Zionist ( if there is such a thing) Id think ok Lammy had to do something but we can still work with this Labour government.
Lammy made it clear in his speech of arms licenses that he didn't want to do this. But the procedures for granting arms licenses ment he had to something. And he did the minimum.
It's not people like me who have lost their moral compass. Its those who support Zionist state of Israel.
The demo that the Zionist / Israeli supporters decided to do was purely to try to mess up the Gaza demo
These supporters of Zionism - Chief Rabbi, Board of deputies of British Jews and all these online groups are showing themselves up here. It's not about anti semitism. It's about supporting Israel right or wrong.
Some of these people seem to think Israel state is the frontline of the fight for Western democratic values against an axis of evil ( Iran Russia etc)

You are right of course: but their blatantly ignoring 40,000 dead is just too much!
