UK: Palestine Mission Raises Alarm over Repeated Attacks on Its Building

Sudan Events – Sumaya Sayed

The Palestine Mission in the UK expressed deep concern and frustration on Sunday over a recent surge in attacks on its London-based building, accusing the British government of neglecting repeated requests for diplomatic protection.
In a statement shared on X, it revealed that the embassy had been targeted in yet another assault on Saturday night, marking the fourth such incident in recent weeks.
It included security camera footage capturing one of the attacks, underscoring the severity of the situation.
“All attacks and threats have been reported to the British police, and the president of the State of Palestine has requested immediate diplomatic police protection to the Mission in London from the UK prime minister, holding the UK government responsible for the safety of the Palestinian ambassador, staff and families,” it said.
“Until today, the UK government has failed to provide such diplomatic protection in line with international norms. The lack of any action by the British government, ignoring Palestinian rights and concerns, is inexplicable and unacceptable,” it noted.
