UK appoints anti-Israel justice minister as Muslims reject incoming Labour government
Fox News
The Muslim voters of the United Kingdom largely rejected the incoming Labour Party, adding a blemish to what was otherwise an historic win for Sir Keir Starmer.
"I have always supported a diplomatic process to stop the killing of innocent civilians, get humanitarian aid in and get the hostages out," Mahmoud wrote in a March letter to constituents. "But it is clear that diplomatic processes have not made sufficient progress. The conduct of this war has been intolerable, with a disproportionate level of attacks on innocent people that has rightly been the deliberations in international courts." Peter Aitken is a Fox News Digital reporter with a focus on national and global news.
Mahmood won reelection in her constituency of Birmingham Ladywood, against a pro-Palestine Independent candidate Akmed Yakoob. She has faced criticism from the Muslim community for abstaining on a Gaza ceasefire vote in November and her refusal to resign from the shadow cabinet over her party’s support for Israel.
