1 May 2025 Muslim civil society unites in letter to Prime Minister

From Middle East Monitor, “A coalition of hundreds of British Muslim organisations, coordinated by the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB), delivered a letter to Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Tuesday, urging the UK government to recognise Palestinian statehood immediately and call for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza. The call comes amid growing concerns that the UK itself may be complicit in the ongoing genocide by Israel in the enclave [. . .] the letter places its demands within the framework of international law, warning that Britain’s current posture risks making it a “complicit bystander in this crime against humanity.” With polling data showing broad public support across religious and political lines for an end to arms exports and recognition of Palestinian statehood, the message to the government appears to be unambiguous: act now, or face lasting political and moral consequences”. click here.
