Hundreds of UK Muslim Organisations Unite to Call on Prime Minister to Recognise Palestinian Statehood

(April 29, 2025)

Commenting on the letter, Secretary General Dr Wajid Akhter said:

“We are at a watershed moment as events in Gaza intensify, with more innocent lives lost each day. British Muslim communities, alongside countless others across the country, are simply calling for a foreign policy rooted in justice, humanity, and international law.

We have rightly mobilised a coalition of the willing to oppose Russia’s illegal occupation of Ukraine, yet the illegal occupation of Palestine and the mass killing of Palestinian civilians is met with silence. We urge Prime Minister Keir Starmer to show moral leadership and act swiftly.“
