Ms Braverman has clearly urged The Police " to Crack Down on anyone breaking the law" The Source added.
The Met estimated that up to 100,000 people gathered in Central London on Saturday to show solidarity with Palestinian civilians.
More Than 1,000 officers were involved in policing The Demonstration near Downing Street. Ten people were arrested.
The Met said arrests made during Saturday's March were linked to possession of fireworks, Public Order and assaulting an emergency service worker.
But, The Force said on Sunday it was taking no further action after footage appeared online of A Man chanting " jihad, jihad" at the smaller rally staged by The Islamist group Hizb ut-Tahrir, which was close to the main March .
from The Force said it " had not identified any offences arising from the specific clip" adding that The Word jihad had " A Number of meanings".
It also said no further action would be taken after it reviewed photographs of protesters holding banners referring to " Muslim armies".
Home Office Minister Robert Jenrick said he believed The Chant amounted to " inciting terrorist violence" and needed to be " tackled with the Full Force of the law".

But, The Minister admitted it was an " operational matter" for The Police and The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) whether to press charges.
