UK bans Palestinian-American activist flagged by antisemitism watchdog
Moath Hamzeh, vice-chair of UK charity Sun of Freedom, says the Home Office revoked his travel authorization shortly before he was due to speak at a London fundraiser.
Moath Hamzeh, a Palestinian-American activist and trustee of the UK charity Sun of Freedom, has been banned from entering the UK by the Home Office. The ban comes after the Home Office revoked his Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA), allegedly due to concerns that his presence would not be "conducive to the public good." Hamzeh was scheduled to travel to London for fundraising events and a documentary screening. He claims the decision is discriminatory and based on false allegations of antisemitic behavior.
