Starmer under fire for welcoming Egyptian activist who called to 'kill all Zionists'

United Kingdom Prime Minister Keir Starmer is facing criticism after welcoming British-Egyptian activist Alaa Abd el-Fattah, whose past social media posts advocating violence against Zionists and police have resurfaced. The opposition conservatives and Jewish organizations have called for Fattah to be stripped of his citizenship and deported, citing his extremist rhetoric as a threat to public safety. The government condemned Fattah's historic comments but emphasized that securing his release from Egyptian detention had been a long-standing priority. The controversy has sparked debate over due diligence in government actions and the potential risks posed to the Jewish community and the wider public.
