The BPC condemns the Court of Appeal’s decision to overturn the ruling that found the government’s proscription of Palestine Action unlawful. The judgment criminalises Palestine solidarity & underscores the extent to which ā€œnational securityā€ is being invoked to protect the interests of defence industries operating on British soil. Meanwhile, the Israeli state continues its genocide in Gaza, its violent occupation of the West Bank & Jerusalem & expands its violence in the broader region.

"[Yvette Cooper's sanctions] remain woefully insufficient to address conditions of Israeli occupation, apartheid and genocide. Nor do they address Israel's de fact annexation and land theft in the West Bank and Gaza." šŸ”— Read the BPC's full statement on Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper's sanctions announcement: britpalcommittee.co.uk/state…

An event is planned to be hosted in London proudly promoting the sale of land on illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank. This is obscene. I've called on @MayorofLondon and @YvetteCooperMP to stop the event and for this govt to take real action on illegal settlements.

"Last month, the Israeli military approved the return of reservists involved in the rape of a Palestinian man in July 2024. [...] This follows the dismissal of all charges against the Israeli reservists in March this year when Prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu hailed the soldiers as ā€œheroic warriorsā€. What conversations has the minister had with Israeli officials about this pattern of glorifying rapists, and allowing them to serve in the Israeli military?"

"We're all a bit fed up with yet another gaslighting statement on Israel and Palestine. [...] Every statement is yet another hesitation in the face of what is an unfolding picture of savagery across the whole region." - Kit Malthouse MP (@kitmalthouse) at today's Middle East Situation Ministerial Statement.

ā€œI think the answer to why [Palestine marches] are being very clearly misrepresented as hate marches is to undermine the hundreds and thousands of people who are turning up on the street. It’s to distract from the government’s complicity in these crimes.ā€ Read BPC Director Sara Husseini's full interview with the @guardian below: theguardian.com/society/2026…

ā€œThis is part of a broader attempt to erase and invisibilise Palestinians,ā€ Husseini said. ā€œIt goes hand in hand with attempts to dehumanise Palestinians, and dehumanisation is a prerequisite for genocide.ā€

Read the British Palestinian Committee's newest briefing paper: "Housing barriers facing Palestinians in the UK" For Palestinians who have newly arrived to the UK, access to safe and stable housing is one of the most immediate and critical needs. Many face significant and systemic barriers when navigating both local authority housing systems and the private rental market across the UK. These challenges frequently result in housing insecurity, prolonged reliance on temporary accommodation, or homelessness. šŸ”— Read the full briefing below britpalcommittee.co.uk/brief…

The British Palestinian Committee strongly condemns this dangerous escalation of state repression and what precedent it might set for those opposing military complicity in genocide and other war crimes.
