Adviser warns London a 'no-go zone for Jews every weekend'
Robin Simcox also urged ministers to "be willing to accept higher legal risk" when tackling extremism.
Rishi Sunak's spokesman said the PM took concerns of extremism "extremely seriously" and noted a rise in both antisemitism and anti-Muslim hatred.
March organisers said Jewish people did not need to be scared of the events.
Writing in the Telegraph, Mr Simcox said Mr Sunak had been right to point to an increase in extremist disruption.
He said he now needed the "policies to meet the scale of the challenge".
He also said the government already had "more power to tackle extremism than it sometimes thinks".
"We have not betrayed democracy if extremists are no longer able to operate television channels," he said.
