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. 🔗 Read the full briefing below britpalcommittee.co.uk/briefing-housi…

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.

Today we made a submission to UN Special Rapporteur @FranceskAlbs’ inquiry into Gaza media coverage, with researcher Ian Goodrich. Our analysis uses quantitative data to expose the structural erasure of Palestinian lives in mainstream media. Read here: britpalcommittee.co.uk/ohchr-submissi…

Brendan O'Hara MP (@BrendanOHaraMP) asks about Israel's death penalty legislation at today's #FCDO oral questions: "Would [the UK] continue normal diplomatic relations with [a 'diplomatic' state] were it to introduce a differential death penalty, one which was based on ethnicity?"

Shockat Adam MP (@ShockatAdam) asks about @declassifiedUK's recent report at today's #FCDO Oral Question's: "Israeli charity Shivat Zion is helping British citizens move to illegal settlements. This is not only breaking international law [...] but is also implicating British taxpayers in claiming UK gift aid."

Mary Kelly Foy MP (@marykfoy) at today's #FCDO Oral Questions: "What is the minister doing to ensure the Israeli government allows life-saving aid to enter Gaza, that it reverses the suspension of the licences and that aid and humanitarian relief is not politicised or weaponised by the Israeli government?"

The BPC is deeply saddened to hear that Defense for Children International-Palestine has been forced to shutter in the face of relentless Israeli attacks on its operations. For decades, DCIP has exposed the effects of genocide, apartheid and mass incarceration on Palestine's children. We stand in unwavering solidarity with DCIP and all Palestinian civil society organisations. Attacks on these organisations are intended to silence and intimidate and must be condemned as part of Israel's strategy to commit war crimes with impunity. truthout.org/articles/top-p…

🚨NEW BRIEFING🚨 The BPC has just released its latest briefing paper on immigration issues facing Palestinians in the UK. In this thread, we draw from this briefing and outline five of the severe barriers that Palestinians from Gaza face when seeking family reunification and protection in the UK. ⬇️🧵

The UK government has both the legal authority and moral responsibility to implement targeted measures, including a dedicated Gaza Family Scheme and temporary protection pathways. These actions would allow families to reunite and access essential support. Read the full briefing below: britpalcommittee.co.uk/briefing-immig…

NEXT STEPS: British policy-makers must turn their attention to how these barriers are compounding the extreme mental health and humanitarian impacts of Israel's ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people.
