Palestinian‑American activist to sue UK over denied entry for London fundraiser

Palestinian‑American activist Mo Hamzeh announced he will pursue legal action against the UK government after his permission to enter the country was revoked ahead of his charity’s annual Gaza fundraiser in London.

Hamzeh said the decision prevents him from attending the event, which he described as a key part of his organisation’s efforts to raise support for Gaza.

A pro‑Israel activist group has claimed responsibility for an effort to block Hamzeh’s entry, though no further details were provided about the group’s involvement.

The activist has warned that he will seek a judicial review unless the authorities provide a justification for the revocation of his entry permission.
